The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best pinot noir wines, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.
"From the Porongurup through to Tasmania, a multitude of regions represented pinot noir proudly at our awards judging this year, and we witnessed an array of styles from the 2023 and 2024 vintages. In the presence of fierce competition, the winner was clear: Mount Mary would take home the trophy for Pinot Noir of the Year. This marks its fifth win in this category, a feat met by only one other wine, in the fortified category, the Hall of Fame recipient: Seppeltsfield 100 Year Old Para. It’s fair to say, Mount Mary Pinot Noir is a true icon." – Katrina Butler
