Our 2023 Honour Roll

The 2023 Halliday Australian Wine Companion Awards have recently been released and once again our Chief Winemaker Xanthe Hatcher and our entire winemaking team’s combined experience, dedication and passion to producing outstanding premium wines is reinforced.

Once again Audrey Wilkinson has been recognised as a 5 underlined Red Star Winery that signifies “a winery generally acknowledged to have had a long track record of excellence, typically having held a 5-star rating continuously for 10 years – truly the best of the best.”

See below our full list of Audrey Wilkinson wines included in the 2023 Halliday Wine Companion.

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Marsh Vineyard Semillon – 96 points
“Planted in 1971 on meagre alluvials flecked with sand. Fine boned. Playing a card of greater austerity and classicism than its Ridge sibling. Real tension here, with the fruit tucked beneath a veneer of mineral, talc, juicy acidity and a verdant rub of fennel, greengage and lemongrass. This will age stupendously well, as long as one has the patience.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson ‘The Ridge’ Semillon – 95 points
“A pale–mid yellow with green glints, this is riper than most, facilitating delicious drinking right off the bat.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Marsh Vineyard Chardonnay – 95 points
“This will please those seeking ample flavour and freshness in the same glass, with a plenitude of textural detail. Very good for the region.”

2015 Audrey Wilkinson ‘The Oakdale’ Chardonnay – 95 points
“The oldest estate vines. Impressive, capturing tension by virtue of avoiding malo.” 

2021 Audrey Wilkinson ‘The Oakdale’ Chardonnay – 94 points
“Lovely oak, tucking in the seams. A gentle creaminess, but nothing obtuse… Flavour, to be sure. But loads tucked away to reward mid-term cellaring.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Winemaker’s Selection Semillon – 93 points
“The winemaking here is exceptional, as is the strong demarcation between cuvées, each boasting a unique personality.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Winemaker’s Selection Chardonnay – 92 points
“For Hunter chardonnay this plays a discreet, tightly held deck. Flavour, to be sure. But loads tucked away to reward mid-term cellaring.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Semillon – 92 points
“Already attractive drinking, this will flesh out nicely across the mid term.”

2021 Audrey Wilkinson Winemaker’s Selection Shiraz– 91 points
2021 Audrey Wilkinson Tempranillo – 91 points
2021 Audrey Wilkinson Rosé – 87 points
