Australian wine crowned the BEST chardonnay in the world


Talk about Australian pride!

During the recent Las Vegas Global Wine Awards, a $43 bottle of wine from South Australia was crowned the best Chardonnay in the world.

Winemaker Taylors Wines and the St Andrews Chardonnay 2020 took home the coveted “Best in Show” medal at the prestigious international wine competition this week.

The white wine from the family winery’s Clare Valley Estate was evaluated after a blind taste test conducted by a panel of world-class judges - including Master Sommeliers, winemakers and trade experts.

The winning drop was described as a silky-textured wine, with long and luscious notes of peach, nectarine, and subtle cashew nuances enhanced through the use of high-quality French oak.

Mitchell Taylor, Taylors Wines third generation winemaker and managing director, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be awarded Best Chardonnay at the awards.”

“It’s such an honour to be recognised on the global stage, but to be recognised for the best chardonnay in a country where it is so widely loved and consumed makes it even more special.”

“There is a growing taste for premium Australian wines in America - the world’s biggest wine market - and it is through these awards we can demonstrate that our wines stack up against some of the best in the world.”

This is the second year that Taylors’ St Andrews Chardonnay has claimed a major prize at the Las Vegas Global Wine Awards, with the winemaker cashing in on the title for Best White Wine during last year’s competition.

In addition to the exceptional chardonnay prize, the family winery also bagged a gold medal for its Jaraman Shiraz 2019 along with six other silver medals across its selection.

In more exciting news for Aussie winemakers, another Aussie winery also hit its jackpot in the international wine competition; NSW winemaker Lillypilly Estate Wines won the title for Best Dessert Wine for two of its sweet wines - the Lillypilly Fiumara 7 Angelo Blend and Lillypilly Noble Harvest.

In 2022, the winning wine will be available from select wine retailers, Taylors’ Clare Valley Cellar Door, and online for $43, which we would say is quite affordable considering it has been crowned the best in the world!
