The best cabernet and blends 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 cabernet and blends, along with their scores. Members can also click through to find each wine's detailed review.

But before you dive into the exhaustive list of Australia's best cabernet and blends, you can get to know the current winner of our Cabernet and Blends of the Year award – the 2024 Yeringberg from Yeringberg.

"This bracket is made up of the very best cabernet-dominant blends, including a number of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz blends, plus cabernet merlot, cabernet malbec and more. It was a tight bracket at the annual awards judging, with quality across the board, but none were more deserving of the win than the Yarra Valley’s Yeringberg." – Katrina Butler
