James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge 2013

Welcome From The Committee

Following the outstanding success of the inaugural James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge in 2012, the committee approached the 2013 Challenge feeling the weight of expectation. To our surprise and delight, the support was even stronger this year with a total of 530 wines entered from across the country. We were again lucky to have nine of the country’s leading show judges ably led by Chief Judge Ben Edwards. The entire James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge took place in RACV Healesville Country Club which we believe provides the best facilities in Australia for this event.

Chardonnay in Australia is a great news story and that was reflected in the glass once again this year. From coast to coast and the little island to the south, chardonnay continues to go from strength to strength to make us the world leader in the variety. The lineup of chardonnays that was on the table for the final tasting was simply phenomenal.

We thank the judges for giving us their valuable time, experience and good humour. The Challenge would also be impossible without the support of the sponsors, Wine Yarra Valley and the volunteer army of amazing stewards lead by Sam Atherton, so a heartfelt thanks to all of them.

We hope to see you all back for an even better Challenge in 2014.

On behalf of the committee,

Mark O’Callaghan
Committee Chairman – James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge
