Tom and Wade have been waiting two years to put together this epic tasting: The Great Australian Chardonnay Taste-Off!

With a combined retail value of over $1,000, they have assembled five of the absolute best single-vineyard Chardonnays in Australia, along with one sneaky New Zealand ringer—all from the 2024 vintage.

Different Drop co-founder Brett pours the wines completely blind, while the boys evaluate them using their patented 110-point scoring scale.

This is the most highly anticipated tasting in the channel's history, as Tom and Wade attempt to objectively rank these absolute titans of New World Chardonnay. Will the legendary Giaconda hold its crown as the GOAT, or will a new challenger rise to the top? Watch to find out the final rankings!
