Did you know that inclusive teams are 10x more likely to be innovative?
They're also 8 x more likely to work collaboratively and 4 x more likely to deliver excellent customer service.

What could we need more to tackle today's challenges than innovation, collaboration & deeper customer connections? But what do inclusive teams look like and how do we build them?

Emily Hay, Chair, Australian Grape & Wine Diversity, Equality & Inclusion in Wine Committee talks us through the resulting Gender Equality toolkit released this week.

Building inclusive practices doesn't need to be the impossible task many fear. This free, practical toolkit is designed to help businesses and individuals get over the hurdles of not knowing where to start or not knowing what's possible.

Containing case studies, policy guides, templates and more, this toolkit if your place to start.

Please share it, bookmark it and come back to it consistently, whenever you're unsure, stuck or building something new. 👉🔗https://www.wineaustralia.com/research_and_innovation/gender-equity-research-and-toolkit

Thanks to Wine Australia and Australian Grape & Wine for backing this very important project delivered by UNSW & Charles Sturt University .

DO YOU MAKE A FIANO WINE?
The fabulous Corrina Wright has long been known as the Queen of Fiano, championing the varietal across Australia! So, we were all in when Oliver's Taranga Vineyards suggested that together we spread the word about the versatility of this fabulous white wine over summer. There’s so much to love about this wine, with enormous potential for the future.

☀️ Fiano is increasing in popularity – its total crush value has increased by 56% (V25 v V24) to $3.72M. Australia now has the most plantings of Fiano outside Italy!
☀️Fiano has seen 86% growth in tonnes crushed (2025 vs 2024)
☀️Vine Health Australia Vineyard Registration data (SA Vineyards Aug 2025) noted a 318% increase in Fiano plantings over the last decade.
☀️There are now over 70 Australian wineries making Fiano
Plantings of emerging white varieties like Fiano have doubled in the last decade
☀️ The Australian Alternative Varietals Wine Show sees 50-55 different Fiano producers entering to make one of the biggest classes of varietals (after Vermentino & Tempranillo) at the Show.

See how you can get involved in what we’re sure will be a good news story. Know a fellow winery who might be keen to get involved? Please spread the word and encourage them to join in the fun!

We’ll send out an email tomorrow to everyone we’ve found who is making a fabulous fiano, so keep an eye out in your inbox tomorrow or visit the OT website

130 YEARS OF COONAWARRA WINE
Famous for its terra rossa soils and world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, Coonawarra Wine Region is celebrating 130 years since its first vintage in 1895. With a population of just 135 people, its strength lies in community spirit, collaboration, innovation and a shared vision to keep Coonawarra wines relevant for future generations.

Cabernet Sauvignon remains king in Coonawarra, representing 59% of grapes crushed in the 2025 vintage. Known for its bright fruit, juicy characters and demonstrated aging potential, Coonawarra’s medium-bodied style continues to attract strong demand at home and abroad.

However, the story of Coonawarra extends beyond the world-famous red dirt. The region is evolving, leaning into research, innovation, and changes in viticultural practices to ensure a sustainable future. Much has been done over the past decades to understand the soils and geology, and how the distinct microclimates across the famous strip have allowed for different vinous expressions.

This history and vision for the future were showcased to a select group of trade and media representatives who attended The Coonawarra Tutorial in Sydney this morning. Panel Sue Bell (Bellwether), Matilda Innes (Ottelia) and Chris Plummer (Wynns), presented a range of wines dating back to the 1960s with discussion facilitated by Sommelier Australia’s Louella Matthews

The event was a reminder of how bright and vibrant young Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon is (more Jimmy Watson wins than any other region in Australia), with an incredible ability to age. Many of the producers noting how Cabernet is going full circle, tasting better than ever.
