Western Australia's standout 46.

An independent voice for the regions we love.

Western Australia

Boutique, coastal, world-class.

Western Australia is boutique, coastal and quietly world-class — home to Margaret River, the Great Southern, Pemberton and the Swan Valley. This guide ranks its producers on the public record: James Halliday star ratings, wine-show trophies and regional reputation. We discover and champion — we never sell.

The complete ranked directory, grouped by wine region. Every winery links straight to the source. Wineries shown without a Halliday rating simply have no publicly confirmed rating in our research — not a judgement of quality.
