Red wine balancing act

Mudgee and Hunter vignerons will soon hear the first results from an industry-driven NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) trial to investigate how vineyard management can help maintain the balance of freshness and fruit character in the districts’ red wines. Free industry updates from the National Wine and Grape Industry Centre, an alliance between DPI, Charles Sturt University (CSU) and the NSW Wine Industry Association will be held in the Australian Rural Education Centre, Mudgee on Tuesday April 19 and at Tuscany Wine Estate Resort, Pokolbin on Wednesday April 20 from 8.30 am until 1 pm.
