This award honours an outstanding Author(s) of a paper published in the AJGWR in the previous twelve months where the potential application of the research on winemaking practices is deemed by an industry/science-based panel to have the most impact.

 

 

 2022Dr Marcos Bonada, SARDI
 

Dr Marcos Bonada, from the South Australian Research and Development Institute for the paper “Soil water availability during spring modulates canopy growth and impacts the chemical and sensory composition of Shiraz fruit and wine” doi.org/10.1111/ajgw.12506

Dr Bonada’s paper was selected by the committee because it demonstrated the importance of establishing a framework for the adoption of irrigation strategies that may maintain regional style in the context of a changing climate.
