The three locally produced wines made from Mediterranean grape varieties Prosecco (sparkling white), Nero d’Avola (red) and Mencia (red) performed well in a WA wine show this year.
The new wine grape varieties will be workshopped with local wine producers in order to grow and diversify WA’s wine offerings in Australia and overseas.
Western Australia’s wine industry is worth more than $700 million and is a significant contributor to the State economy.
