Australia is home to some of the world’s most diverse and high-quality wines, rivalling the best from Europe.
With its varied climate, innovative winemakers, and some of the oldest vines, our nation has firmly established itself as a powerhouse of premium wine production.
But with so many options, how can you find the very best bottles? Here, we reveal how you can discover Australia’s best wines.
Wine Selectors has been dedicated to uncovering and championing Australia’s most exceptional wines for five decades.
As the only wine retailer in Australia that exclusively offers Australian wines, it has forged close relationships with more than 500 family-owned wineries, ensuring access to distinctive and high-quality bottles.
The Wine Selectors Tasting Panel, comprising leading sommeliers, winemakers, and industry judges, blind tastes more than 6,000 wines each year. Only those scoring at least a bronze medal standard are selected, ensuring members receive only the best.
“Every panel tasting brings out new gems, and it’s great to find these wines so the consumer can learn about them too,” says Hunter Valley winemaker and Tasting Panel member Keith Tulloch.
Beyond offering wine, Wine Selectors is committed to storytelling, introducing wine lovers to the history, people, and regions behind each bottle.
Founder Greg Walls believes that wine is more than just taste; it’s about connecting with producers who share a passion for excellence.
“We’re not satisfied with big business commoditising and dominating our taste buds,” says Walls.
“The wine producers that we work with and present to our members exemplify a shared striving for excellence: beautifully crafted wines where you can taste the winemaker in each. Now that’s something we should all celebrate.”

A 30-metre masterpiece unveiled in Monaco brings Lamborghini’s supercar drama to the high seas, powered by 7,600 horsepower and unmistakable Italian design.
A 30-metre masterpiece unveiled in Monaco brings Lamborghini’s supercar drama to the high seas, powered by 7,600 horsepower and unmistakable Italian design.
When Lamborghini takes to the water, subtlety isn’t on the agenda. Unveiled at the Monaco Yacht Show, the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is a 30-metre superyacht that fuses Italian automotive theatre with cutting-edge naval engineering.
The model builds on the collaboration that began in 2020 with the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 63, a sell-out success that celebrated the marque’s founding year.
This new flagship pushes the partnership between Automobili Lamborghini and The Italian Sea Group to a grander scale, designed to deliver the same adrenaline rush at sea that drivers expect behind the wheel.
“The Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT redefines the concept of nautical luxury,” said Stephan Winkelmann, Chairman and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini.
“It is not only a yacht, but an affirmation of Italian excellence. The Italian Sea Group and Automobili Lamborghini share an exclusive clientele who are passionate about beauty, technology, and extreme performance.”
Design cues are unmistakably Lamborghini. The yacht’s sharp exterior lines echo the Fenomeno supercar revealed at Monterey Car Week, complete with Giallo Crius launch livery and signature Y-shaped lighting.
Inside, the cockpit and lounges mirror the DNA of Sant’Agata supercars through hexagonal motifs, sculptural seating and dramatic contrasts. With accommodation for up to nine guests and three crew cabins, indulgence meets practicality on every deck.
Performance is equally uncompromising. Three MTU 16V 2000 M96L engines and triple surface propellers generate a combined 7,600 horsepower, driving the yacht to 45 knots at full throttle, with a cruising speed of 35 knots. Two 35 kW generators provide additional efficiency and reliability, ensuring the yacht’s power matches its presence.
Mitja Borkert, Lamborghini’s Design Director, said: “With the Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT, we aimed to create a product that embodies the main design characteristics of our super sports cars. All the details, from the exterior to the colour, to the interior areas, recall and are inspired by Lamborghini’s DNA.”
Presented in scale at Monaco, the definitive Tecnomar for Lamborghini 101FT is scheduled to hit the water at the end of 2027. For those who demand their indulgence measured not only in metres but in knots, this is Lamborghini’s most extravagant expression yet.
