NSW winegrowers will have the latest research and development at their fingertips following the release of the NSW Government’s latest Grapevine management guide.
The guide is one of the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development’s flagship publications that provides NSW Wine Industry members with important information to ensure they are across current and emerging research and industry news.
Penny Flannery, a Development Officer in Viticulture for the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, said the yearly publication was a crucial means of providing up-to-date information to wine industry professionals across the state.
“Essentially, this free guide is an important link between the latest developments in viticulture and the wine industry,” Ms Flannery said.
“The annual guide has been in existence for more than 30 years, and this latest edition covers off some critical topics and important developments for winegrowers.”
