We painstakingly whittled this down to a shortlist of 137 wines to be tasted at our annual awards judging in March. Eighteen brackets were set before nine of the very best wine critics in Australia. They tasted blind, each wine masked to conceal its maker. The best of the best of these brackets were repoured to determine Red Wine of the Year, White Wine of the Year, and the prestigious award, Wine of the Year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Find all the varietal winners here, plus lists of all the top-rated wines for each category. These lists work best as a quick reference though, for the tasting note and accompanying information found on each wine review is the best guide as to whether a wine is for you.
