Halliday Wine Companion 2024

When you think of Australian wine, you think of James Halliday. The legendary winemaker and critic has been the most trusted name in the industry for 40 years, and his celebrated Halliday Wine Companion is the final word in what to drink now.

This bestselling annual sets the benchmark for winemakers, collectors and wine lovers alike, and the 2024 edition has been revised and updated, featuring all new scores, notes, wineries and the latest information on 'exceptional', 'outstanding' and 'highly recommended' wines.

Inside, a team of Halliday experts share their extensive knowledge of wine with detailed tasting notes offering advice on great value wines, as well as key wine regions, winemakers, and even vineyard sizes.

James Halliday is an unmatched authority on every aspect of the Australian wine industry and can be compared to the likes of Hugh Johnson, Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson. In 1995 he received the Australian wine industry's ultimate accolade, the Maurice O'Shea Award, and in 2010 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia. For the 2024 guide, James works alongside Campbell Mattinson, in the role of chief editor, and an experienced team of tasters, who each focus on specific wine regions for the first time.
