Australian fine wine auctioneers Langtons have just published their
fourth version of Australia's answer to Bordeaux's 1855
Classification. Langtons' Classification
of Distinguished Australian wine was first released in 1991. and was
recognised as the first credible form guide of fine Australian wine. The 1991
edition was followed up by a re-classification in 1996, 2000, and now in July
2005.

Classifications
Langtons' classification divides 101 Australian auction room regulars into four
divisions; Exceptional, Outstanding, Excellent and
Distinguished, based on their track record at auction. The
Classification is based on the objective criteria of time and market demand. A
wine must have 12 vintages made or 10 vintages released to be considered for
the Classification. Wines in the `Exceptional' category must have at least 15
vintages released.
Wines listed as Exceptional include Penfolds Grange and Leeuwin Estate
Chardonnay.
Outstanding wines include Mount Mary Pinot Noir.
Excellent wines include Elderton Command Shiraz and
Yarra Yering Dry Red No.1
Cabernet Sauvignon.
