How we choose

Decanter rates individual wines, not estates. Each producer's place here is its average Decanter score across every wine of theirs the critic has scored. A producer needs at least two such wines to appear: the guard stops a single lucky score on one bottle from outranking an estate with dozens of rated wines. More on how the list works
