AAA Sydney Breakfast with David Lowe 23rd February 2012
Life after the Glut:
Future Directions for the Wine Industry in NSW and Australia
Guest Speaker David Lowe Principal and Cheif Wine Maker Lowe Wines
One of Australia's leading wine industry figures, David Lowe represents the sixth generation of the Lowe family, graziers who settled in 1829 at 'Tinja' in the Mudgee region of New South Wales.
David Lowe is a prominent wine industry advocate and holds several key positions including President of the NSW Wine Industry Association; Vice President of the Winemakers' Federation of Australia; member of the strategic NSW Ministers' Wine Advisory Council, and was previously President of the Mudgee Wine Grape Growers Association.
David is a regular wine industry commentator and a passionate supporter of smart farming, rural land custodianship and regionalism. He claims he has no skills relevant to urban environments. David will discuss the threats to the wine industry’s health, tax implications but rather than looking back wanted to focus more on the move forward.
David graduated Roseworthy Agricultural College of Bachelor of Science (Oenology) David was appointed Assistant Winemaker at the prestigious Rothbury Estate in the Hunter Valley working for two titans of the wine industry, Len Evans and Murray Tyrrell. David progressed to become Chief Winemaker and Group Vineyard Manager, significantly expanding Rothbury's production through innovative viticulture that included trellising, canopy management, fruit irrigation and water management.
At that time David also undertook vineyard risk management research that led to his identification of Orange as an alternative cool climate grape growing region. Today Orange supplies grapes for selected wines in the LOWE and TINJA portfolios.
