$37,500 given to Australian women in wine to advance their careers
March 10th, 2021
Women in the Australian wine industry have been given financial support to advance their careers, thanks to the funds raised from a wine named Hear Me Roar.
Hear Me Roar, a multi-region, premium South Australian Shiraz from the 2018 vintage, was a project undertaken by the board of the Australian Women in Wine Awards (AWIWA).
It was released mid-2019 and the 400 cases that were made sold-out in under four weeks, with 100% of profits going to the career advancement of women in the wine industry.
It’s the first time anywhere in the world a wine has been created and made by women, to raise money for women in wine.
