Cullen's Diana Madeline takes the Cabernet Crown

Although not that many of you voted, the majority went for Margaret River, when it comes to Cabernet and its blends. The Cullen Diana Madeline was the clear winner.

Now I am going to make a couple of decisions for you, unless I hear some protest. I am giving the Shiraz/Viognier category to Clonakilla. The other contender could be Torbreck's RunRig, but I think the Clonakilla would be the clear winner. Equally, I suggest that the Grosset Polish Hill is our greatest Riesling. I don't think any other Riesling from the Clare, Eden Valley, Victoria or WA could challenge successfully. However, if you think otherwise, please comment.

Then we come to Chardonnay, and this is less clear. Voting is open right now. Please vote.

Agree with the Cullen and Clonakilla. In terms of overall excellence and consistency I think you are right about the Grosset too, though I have a soft spot for the Pewsey Vale Contours.

Re the chardonnay - I'd vote for Bindi if it was an option. Still think the 2005 is the best Aussie chardonnay I've tried. . .

I think your comment about Bindi is fair enough. I will put this on as an option.
