The best sweet wines 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 sweet 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 sweet wines, you can get to know the current winner of our Sweet Wine of the Year award – the 2015 Vin Pretto from Dal Zotto Wines.

"A declining category, not in quality but in volume. These wines deserve their place at the table as the main event, not an afterthought. Pair them with savoury and umami-laden dishes and watch them sing. A well-deserved win for the Dal Zotto family, who never waver in crafting wines of tradition. Perhaps this Trebbiano Vin Pretto – a wine crafted with the Passito method – is the prime example of the philosophy, with its months of winemaking dedication." – Katrina Butler
