Best white wines under $40
Affordability in wine has always been important at Halliday, and this list proves that you don't need to compromise on quality when it comes to drinking some of Australia's best white wines.
Starting at $20, these 20 wines comfortably come in at less than 40 bucks (and they're all rated 95+). We know there is no shortage of good Australian riesling, but these six examples span just $26–$36. In this category, the battle for best Australian chardonnay takes us to the Adelaide Hills, Orange, and Upper Goulburn. Please take note of the outstanding value of Hoddles Creek Estate's Wickhams Road Yea Valley Chardonnay ($20!).
For those keen to expand their palates, the grüner veltliner comes from Mount Barker in the Great Southern, the Hunter Valley and the Adelaide Hills. There's a chenin blanc from McLaren Vale, and fiano from the Alpine Valleys and the Hilltops. Tahbilk's always-reliable marsanne is just $22, there's a pinot blanc from Margaret River, a Hunter Valley staple, a pinot gris from Geelong, and a blend of grenache gris, picpoul and clairette from Coriole.
