More success has been seen at the recent 2016 James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge.  The wine show has grown in stature and purpose to become a highly professional and influential show.  This is a wine show whose only agenda is to track down, appreciate and reward the best that Australian chardonnay can offer. “Chardonnay is enjoying its spring weather, after a prolonged, dark winter. Winemakers, wine writers, retailers, restaurateurs and consumers are all agreed: it is better than ever before. But winemakers, being winemakers, are not content to rest on their laurels. The challenge is (as ever) to make even better wines next vintage (and each vintage thereafter) than ever before. And this is what the Challenge is all about.” ~ James Halliday
