Hunter Valley rising star awarded the Sydney Royal Wine Scholarship

Alex Beckett, a born and bred Hunter Valley wine enthusiast, has been awarded the prestigious 2016 Sydney Royal Wine Scholarship. Beckett, a fourth year Viticulture and Oenology student at the University of Adelaide, will receive $5000 towards his tertiary studies, as well as the opportunity to steward at the 2016 KPMG Sydney Royal Wine Show, in July.
“I was very lucky to have grown up in the Hunter, which has created opportunities from my first cellar door job through to this amazing scholarship opportunity,” Beckett said.
