Young Winemaker of the Year
Tasmania’s Bay of Fires winemaker Fran Austin is the 2005 Qantas Young Winemaker of the Year.
Fran said that her win reflected Tasmania’s commitment to super premium wine making.
“This award is good for me, but it provides validation of the Tasmanian wine industry’s focus on quality rather than chasing mid- range of bulk markets.
“There are so many talented young winemakers and exciting wines on the Australian market and this win is quite an honour.”
