Best Value Yarra Valley Chardonnay

All VarietiesChardonnay
Written By Campbell Mattinson

This list has been created by pure numbers. I simply set the parameters of “Yarra Valley” and “Chardonnay” and asked for a list of the best price-per-points wines on the site, taken from all reviews across the past two years. The result has not been doctored in any way; the numbers were crunched, and this is the result. Quality is key here, price is key too: both quality and price are paramount. The top two wines cost $28 and $30, the sixth wine costs $100, but the $100 wine is still relevant to the value equation because it scored so high.

This is an unusual list, because the process of calculation is so pure.

This list will be regularly updated.
