A $2 million seed bank project to future-proof the Australian wine industry will be developed in South Australia’s Barossa Valley.

Yalumba Family Winemakers have won a grant from the state government’s $12 (US$8.7) million regional growth fund to deliver the project, which will provide high-quality and disease-free vine material that can be accessed by other grape producers.
