It's a big year for Treasury Wine Estate's favourite child. On top of a huge Collection 2026 release, Penfolds is also celebrating the 75th anniversary of its own favourite child; Grange. Learn more and see how Dave Brookes scored the wines here.

A faraway tropical island isn't where Katie Spain expected to find one of the world's most impressive wine collections, but that's exactly what happened at Kokomo Private Island. Explore the luxury Fijian resort (and meet the island's first qualified sommelier) here.

Lastly, today is International Shiraz Day! To help you celebrate, we round up 21 wines, categorised by price – under $70 and over $70.

Cheers,

Halliday Wine Companion
