Hayes Family Wines - Australia's Top 50 Vineyards in 2021

Australia’s Top 50 Vineyards of 2021!

With over 6,000 grape-growers, picking the top vineyards in Australia is no easy task. Inundated with entries, the judges narrowed the field to the 50 that best exemplified the values of sustainability, innovation, provenance and growing great wine.

To judge the awards, a group of leading experts on viticulture were enlisted to personally review all the applicants. Dr Catherine Kidman, Mark Walpole, Dr Mary Retallack and Lee Haselgrove joined Max Allen in arriving at a very exciting Top 50.

The 50 finalists in the 2021 Vineyard of the Year Awards include 20 from South Australia, 11 from Victoria, eight from New South Wales/ACT, seven from Tasmania and four from Western Australia.

Hayes Family Wines’ Estate Vineyard was a finalist in 2020 and once again we have made the Top 50 in 2021. You can read the details here.

Over December and January, younggunofwine.com are releasing a profile of each of these vineyards, and the viticulturists/growers behind them. Beside celebrating the achievements of 2021’s Top 50, there are four trophies to be awarded, with the winners announced in February 2022. We will keep you posted on progress over the months ahead.
