The best pinot grigio in Australia

The Halliday Wine Companion Awards celebrate the best wines in Australia – as chosen by the Halliday Tasting Team. Below, you'll find Australia's best pinot gris/ grigio wines, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.

Once upon a time it might have seemed unimaginable that the pinot gris/grigio category would produce so many wines with scores of 95 or above. 

"With each passing year, the quality of pinot gris/grigio submissions grows (as do the many and varied styles produced). This category has firmly cemented its worthiness of a place on the pages of the Halliday Wine Companion." – Katrina Butler

But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best pinot gris/ grigio, you can get to know the current winner of our Pinot Gris/ Grigio of the Year award – the 2024 Pinot Grigio from Tar & Roses.
