The 12th Man Chardonnay Best in Show

The 12th Man Chardonnay 2024 Shines on the Global Stage

Wirra Wirra is proud to share that The 12th Man Chardonnay 2024 has been awarded Best in Show and an impressive 97 points (Gold) at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards. With only 50 wines worldwide receiving this honour, it’s an extraordinary moment of recognition for a wine that speaks so clearly of its place.

Sourced from select cool-climate vineyards across Lenswood, Piccadilly Valley and Lobethal, this release captures the purity, tension and elegance that define the Adelaide Hills at their finest. The 2024 vintage shows remarkable balance and finesse, an expression shaped by altitude, careful vineyard work, and a season that favoured freshness and drive.

Accolades of this calibre are humbling. They reflect not only the character of the vineyard and the quality of the vintage, but also the dedication of the Wirra Wirra team who nurture the fruit and guide the process from soil to glass.
