60 white wines for $30 or less

Best white wines under $30

It's no secret we're spoiled with a wealth of great white wines in Australia. These 60 examples are some of the country's best white wines for $30 or less.

From the familiar riesling, chardonnay, semillon, sauvignon blanc, and pinot gris/grigio, to the lesser-known grapes like viognier, roussanne, grenache blanc, vermentino, verdelho, muscadelle, fiano, chenin blanc, arneis and arinto – these white wines are priced between $15 and $30 and offer variety and value for money.

If you're stuck on where to start, you can't go wrong with Rieslingfreak's 2024 No.3 Riesling. It's a 97-point wine that will only cost you $28. If you're a Halliday member, this won't be the first time you've heard about the absolute steal that comes from the Yarra Valley's Hoddles Creek Estate. The 2023 Chardonnay is $26 and has been rated 95 points. Pinot grigio fans, we're going to take you to Margaret River for South by South West's 2024 Pemberton Pinot Grigio. It's bang on $30 and rated 95 points. Finally, if you're looking to dip your toes in with alternate whites, then start your journey with Lino Ramble's 2023 Dot to Dot Arinto, it comes 'highly recommended' by Marcus Ellis and is $28.

Don't forget the Halliday Virtual Cellar allows you to track drinking windows; sort wine by the 'drink by' date to make sure you don't miss peak drinking.
