The James Halliday Australian Chardonnay and Cabernet Challenge is a celebration of the two varieties and Australia’s outstanding regional diversity. Margaret River Wine and Wine Yarra Valley will collaborate and jointly host the Chardonnay and Cabernet Challenges. They will be judged in the Yarra Valley in August this year and then will move between the two regions on alternate years.

The highest pointed wines for each variety will be rewarded with the James Halliday Trophy and the regional winners with scores of 95 points or more are also recognised.
