Treasury Wine Estates (TWE) has recognised individuals and teams across its global business at this year’s TWE Annual Awards this September, celebrating the people who bring the company’s purpose to life.
Held annually, the awards are designed to spotlight talent, innovation and collaboration. From winemaking and viticulture to sales, consumer experiences and team culture, the program highlights those who go above and beyond to create long-term value and leave a lasting impact.
Among the honours, the prestigious Simon Robertson “Viticulturalist of the Year” Award was presented to Tim Malone, a Coonawarra-based viticulturalist whose leadership, innovation and commitment to sustainability have delivered outstanding vineyard quality across Australia and overseas.
Malone (pictured above) has been instrumental in trialling data-driven vineyard practices in South Australia including precision irrigation and canopy management techniques, while also helping guide vineyard development in China. His work has strengthened vineyard health, improved grape quality, and set new benchmarks for sustainable viticulture.
Malone noted the significance of accepting the award in South Australia, where viticulture is such an integral part of the region’s past and future.
“The recent Coonawarra vintages have been some of the most rewarding of my career, and I’m proud of the quality we’ve achieved. This recognition is for my whole team because together we’re building vineyards that will thrive for generations.”
TWE chief people and corporate affairs officer Katie Hodgson said the awards were a true celebration of the company’s culture.
“[The awards] recognise the talent, passion and collaboration of our people, and shine a light on the many ways our teams contribute to building a business we can all be proud of. It’s about acknowledging not just what we achieve, but how we achieve it together.”
The TWE Annual Awards are a cornerstone of the company’s recognition program, bringing together stories of excellence across regions, brands and functions.
