Welcome to the Wine Innovation Cluster – the important, new collaborative initiative from five of Australia’s key agencies involved in grape and wine research.

As you browse this site, please remember two things: between

them, these agencies address the entire grape and wine value chain from ’climate, soil and water’ to the ’consumer’s lips’; and they work together – bringing the best possible results in the shortest possible time.

Combined with the world-class education reputation of the University of Adelaide and the cluster’s location on the famous Waite Precinct, the Wine Innovation Cluster is set to achieve its target – recognition as the world’s premier research, development, extension and education facility servicing the wine industry.

In the difficult conditions the Australian grape and wine sector presently faces, we look forward with optimism to providing ’out of the square’ solutions this vital sector needs.

Stuart McNab
Chairman

 


The cluster sees five leading grape and wine research agencies coming together with a single goal in mind: in collaboration, to achieve results that would not be possible working as standalone agencies.

With new facilities under construction, world-leading personnel and networks right around the globe, the Wine Innovation Cluster will deliver results effectively and efficiently.
Between them, the collaboration partners possess the major share of Australian research, development, extension and education capabilities over the whole of the grape and wine value chain.

Each of the agencies remains as a standalone, independent enterprise. But the true value of the Cluster will stand out when each enterprise contributes their unique capabilities to address specific issues in any part of the sector’s value chain.
