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 semillon wines, 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 semillon, you can get to know the current winner of our Semillon of the Year award – the 2025 Johnno's Semillon from Tyrrell's Wines.
"Once again, the Hunter Valley dominated the semillon category. Nonetheless, the grape’s ability to translate site, winemaking and the pace at which it evolves in bottle meant a vast range of styles even within these narrow parameters. Surprisingly, it’s the first time the Hunter Valley stalwart Tyrrell’s has claimed this category; we’re sure it won’t be the last." – Katrina Butler
