These 11 wines were each awarded the Special Value rosette ✪ by the Halliday Tasting Team in the 2025 Halliday Wine Companion. You might be wondering – what qualifies a wine for the Special Value rosette? It is granted to those wines that offer special value for money, no matter their price point.
A basic algorithm is applied to take into account the price of a wine and the points it is awarded. A value rosette is given, for instance, to $15 wines scoring 87 or more points, $25 wines scoring 90 or more, $35 wines of 93 or more, $50 wines of 95 points or more and $250 wines scoring 99 points or more.
These 11 wines have been scored between 90 and 96 points, which places them in the 'highly recommended' (90–93 points) or the 'outstanding' (94–96 points) categories. Priced between $25 and $55 – these wines overdeliver on quality and value for money – add them to your list.
