Join Tony Battaglene and guest Dr Martin Cole, the new CEO of Wine Australia, as they discuss Martin’s initial impressions and priorities for the Australian grape and wine sector. Martin joined Wine Australia on 15 November 2021 from the University of Adelaide, where he was the Head of School, Agriculture, Food and Wine. Along with his wine sector experience, Martin brings extensive experience across government, academia and industry – including the broader agricultural sectors – and has held senior leadership positions at CSIRO, overseas and in larger commercial companies. It’s a critical time for the Australian grape and wine sector, with many challenges and opportunities ahead. But as we embark on a new era, the collaborative nature of Australian Grape & Wine and Wine Australia’s working relationship has never been stronger and we look forward to paving a way forward for a prosperous and sustainable sector for all winegrape growers and winemakers.
