Aussie wine exports to China grow to $370m

Fresh off the back of a 66 per cent increase in Chinese wine export values in 2015 – making China Australia’s third most valuable export market – a contingent of Asian wine influencers toured the Barossa last Friday as part of Wine Australia’s visitors program. A total of 22 guests – including trade, media and sommeliers – from China, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan were hosted by several Barossa winemakers for the day before being treated to a regional tasting and dinner at Murray Street Vineyards.
