If you want to ask who the Australian wine king is, it must be rich Ge Lan only.
But when it comes to price, Australia's most expensive wine is not. In Australia, where the variety of styles of wine is growing, who is going to lose the most expensive style of wine in Australia?
Today we will take stock of Australia's top 10 highest international average prices. Tu-ho friends, drink it according to the list.
1 | Chris Ringland Dry Grown Shiraz
International average: around $740 (pre-tax)
On the latest list, the Kris Rand winery, (Chris Ringland), is once again on the throne of Australia's most expensive wine. The winery was founded by winemaker Chris Ringland, who has had a passion for wine since urinating and has worked for 15 years in South Australia's long-established Locke Fook winery, (Rockford).
Here, Chris Ringland's unique wine-making style has been shaped, producing many high-quality Shiraz (Shiraz) wines.
In 1994, Chris Ringland bought a 7-hectare vineyard of old vineyards in the Barossa Valley, (Barossa Valley), and began building the Three Rivers Dry-Grown Shiraz.. Although this wine is not as famous as Fugelanch, the price of the wine has risen because of its very low output, coupled with highly rated wine critic Robert Parker (Robert Parker) for four full-time years (1998, 2001, 2002 and 2004). It is now the most expensive wine in Australia.
In 2006, Chris Ringland left Rockford and began to focus on his own winery. This also led Three Rivers Dry Grown Shiraz to change the new name Chris Ringland Dry Grown Shiraz,2005 is the first year after the change.
2| Torbreck The Laird Shiraz
International average: around $640 (pre-tax)
Although it is only 20 years old, (Torbreck) has become one of the most important top Australian vineyards, and it is a double red five-star winery chosen by James Halliday, a famous wine critic. High-quality and low-yield wines are regarded by many enthusiasts as the ultimate goal.
Looking back on the history of the growth of the owner David Powell, there is much sympathy with the Chris Ringland mentioned earlier. He also loved wine when he was a teenager, traveled to famous regions such as Europe and California, studied wine-making techniques everywhere, and worked as a winemaker at Locke Fook winery (Rockford).
In 1994, David Powell founded Taubrey in the Barossa Valley, and as one of the top wines in the vineyard, the, Torbreck The Laird Shiraz is not only brewed from the rare old vine Shiraz, it will only be produced in the ideal year. And before the market needs to go through 3 years of oak barrels and 2 years of age in bottles, can be said to be a good enough effort.
As a result, since the first year of 2005, the wine has been brewed for only five years, and two of them (2005 and 2008) have scored well with Parker's full marks. There is no reason to be unpopular. Torbreck winery also has a well-known Run Rig Shiraz,. The highest-grade (Langton's Classification) of Lerlanton Australian wines, the Superior (Exceptional). The Laird Shiraz is priced well above the Run Rig because of its extremely rare output and equally exceptional quality.

(Hill of Grace) of Shenen Mountain and (Mount Edelstone) of gemstone Mountain are also selected for the highest level of Ranton Australian Wine grading (Langton's Classification)-Superior (Exceptional). Only two of the highest-grade wineries entered the entire class, while the other was the famous Bin 95 Glaxo and Bin 707.
Henschke Hill of Grace Shiraz launched its first year in 1958, a single garden with old rattan and vineyards named for the ancient Lutheran church opposite it. For a long time, the price of this wine has been on par with the run-to-rich Glench, this time with a slight lead, and thus into the top three, some people must be happy and others worried.

Although initially criticized by wine experts, when the 1955 Glaxo won gold medals in local and international wine competitions, the wine finally rose to fame as a recognized "Australian wine king". Gracie was not only ranked as the Lanton-rated top wine, but also a world-class wine on the Australian National Trust Heritage list. In 1976 and 2008, he received a perfect score from Parker.

International average: around $510 (pre-tax)
This wine stands out from this list of top Shiraz Pinot (Pinot Noir), from Victoria's Gypsland (Gippsland), is a very young production area, grape growing only in the 1970s. It was not until 1996 that GI was obtained. The overall climate of the region is very cool, and it is also an area of concern in Australia because of its ability to produce high-quality Pinot Noir.
Founded in 1979, Beth Philippe Chateau (Bass Phillip) was named after two important explorers in Australian history, British Navy Doctor George Bass and Admiral Arthur Phillip, to commemorate the courage and vision of the two pioneers.
There is no doubt that Beth Philippe is the local leader, with its flagship collection of Black Pinot Lerranton's highest rank, which many critics have praised as one of Australia's best Pinot Noir.
For this wine, high-density cultivation of the winery lowers production to the extremes of about half a bottle of wine produced by a grape vine, bringing it to an astonishing level and making it one of the most expensive wines in Australia.
