Australia's best wines

The best sauvignon blanc in Australia 2026

By The Tasting Team

The Weaver Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2024 has been named the best sauvignon blanc 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 sauvignon blanc 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 sauvignon blanc, you can get to know the current winner of our Sauvignon Blanc of the Year award – the 2024 Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc from Weaver.

"With four decades as custodian of the plantings he established in Lenswood with his father under his belt, Geoff Weaver is a true guardian of the Adelaide Hills. We were delighted to see his Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc win its category, for its quality but also for its incredible revival following the Cudlee Creek fires, which tore through Geoff ’s vineyard in 2019." – Katrina Butler

Tip-top release of a regional stalwart. Classic lime and passionfruit characters with faint ginger, vanilla cream and pink grapefruit. Good concentration of flavour, length, too, with some fine, dusty pucker doing pleasing things. Excellent in its way, elevating a simple wine approach so well. Go in. – Mike Bennie
