Vinehealth Australia is pleased to announce awards it has achieved.
In 2019, Vinehealth Australia CEO Inca Lee was named ‘Researcher/Innovator of the Year’ at the Australian Women in Wine Awards, announced in New York. Inca said she shared the award with the talented people she has been fortunate to work with during her career at Pernod Ricard Winemakers and Vinehealth Australia. “My sole focus is to provide growers and winemakers with new ways to protect their vines and their brands from the devastating impacts of a biosecurity shock. It’s a huge challenge, but I think with greater awareness we are making progress,” she said.
