Top Wines of the Year
Each year, the Decanter Team and Contributors taste over 30,000 wines. To make picking out the gems easier, this section contains our Top Wines of the Year going back to 2015. These are picked within each category based on quality, value and score.
All the wines chosen were originally rated as ‘outstanding’ – or at least 95 points – in expert tastings during the year, including the Premium tastings, panel tastings and weekday wines.
