Langton’s是澳洲規模最大的葡萄酒拍卖公司，一年拍卖的葡萄酒超过10万批次，而其公告的拍卖价格及Wine Index（葡萄酒指数）也成为消费者及其他拍卖公司重要的参考指标。在澳大利亚，Langton’s拍卖行以其定期承办的“澳洲葡萄酒品分类展”、年度奔富（Penfold’s）拍卖会以及网上诸多拍卖活动而众所周知，并为澳洲中高端葡萄酒市场的发展做出了重要的贡献。
Langton’s 澳大利亚葡萄酒分级”展示了在澳大利亚新兴的葡萄酒拍卖市场上最突出表现的佳酿。能被列入该分级的最重要的衡量标准是至少有10个年份并在拍卖市场上有连续的记录。根据拍卖价格、记录、需求量及名声，分级包括四个级别：
Distinguished-优秀
Excellent-高级
Outstanding-特级
Exceptional-顶级
Langton’s 每五年编订的Classification of Australian Wine一直是葡萄酒迷很重视的购酒参考指南，该系统自1991年第一次发布，基本上是每5年更新一次。下面是到目前的5次评选和入选酒的数量。其中每次入选的量都有所增加。
1991 Classification （I）-34 Wines
1996 Classification （II）-64 Wines
2000 Classification （III）-89 Wines
2005 Classification （IV）-101 Wines
2010 Classification （V）-123 Wines
南澳是优质葡萄酒的主要产地
南澳：Exceptional-顶级5款、Outstanding-特级14款、Excellent-高级20款、Distinguished-优秀14款，合计53款，占到澳洲优质葡萄酒的52.48%。
维多利亚：Exceptional-顶级3款、Outstanding-特级5款、Excellent-高级8款、Distinguished-优秀13款，合计29款，占到澳洲优质葡萄酒的28.71%。
西澳：Exceptional-顶级3款、Outstanding-特级1款、Excellent-高级3款、Distinguished-优秀4款，合计11款，占到澳洲优质葡萄酒的10.89%。
新南威尔士：Exceptional-顶级0款、Outstanding-特级1款、Excellent-高级3款、Distinguished-优秀2款，合计6款，占到澳洲优质葡萄酒的5.94%。
由于不少中国的葡萄酒爱好者们在买酒时都很习惯的重视产地，很显然，来自澳洲南澳的葡萄酒会更为靠谱。不过，由于西澳的产量不大，酒厂也不多，所以其实际的优质比例很可能也很高，尤其是出自玛格丽特河谷地区的葡萄酒。但是就澳洲全境来看，澳大利亚各地的优质葡萄酒分布极度不均衡，南澳依然是优秀葡萄酒的主要产地。
设拉子仍然时澳洲的代表
澳洲的葡萄酒在经过了几十年的品质提升之后，在品种上已经非常的丰富。但是，从”Langton’s评级系统的统计中还是可以看出，西拉/设拉子的地位无法动摇。同时长期躲在西拉阴影下的赤霞珠也正在奋发图强。而曾经被大家寄予厚望的长相思还不太成熟，在101款优质葡萄酒的清单上还没有她的影子。
西拉/设拉子：Exceptional-顶级4款、Outstanding-特级14款、Excellent-高级16款、Distinguished-优秀14款。
赤霞珠：Exceptional-顶级2款、Outstanding-特级3款、Excellent-高级10款、Distinguished-优秀13款。
红葡萄酒仍是澳洲优质葡萄酒的主流
尽管澳洲不少地区气候炎热，但是清爽的白葡萄酒似乎还没有成为优质葡萄酒的主流。在101款葡萄酒中，白葡萄酒共有14款，比例为13.86%。霞多丽仍然很强悍，在入选14款白酒中，独占7款。另外的两个流行品种是雷司令和赛美隆，其中的雷司令非常的有澳洲的特点。
经过上面对于”Langton’s的数字分析，澳洲优质葡萄酒的版图一目了然：奔富是最有实力的品牌，南澳可能是最好的产区，西拉是澳洲葡萄品种的代表。有了这三条基本结论，挑选澳洲优质葡萄酒时，应该是信心满怀了。
