James Halliday AM honoured with the inaugural d'Arry Osborn Award

"James Halliday AM has been honoured with the inaugural d'Arry Osborn Award that was presented at the 2023 McLaren Vale Wine Show's Bushing Lunch.The d'Arry Osborn Award recognises an individual or company that has championed and promoted grenache and its blends in McLaren Vale. The award honours the legacy of d'Arry Osborn who was an advocate for grenache, and who stood against the vine pull scheme run by the government in the 1980s. The scheme threatened McLaren Vale's old vines, which included a lot of grenache that now produces award-winning wines . . ."
