Shaw Vineyard Estate selected as Wine Partner by the Australian War Memorial

Announcement posted by Palate PR 12 Apr 2017

There are few places in Australia that have as much of an impact or create more powerful emotions than the Australian War Memorial. In fact, in 2016 the Memorial was voted Trip Advisor’s Number One Landmark in Australia and the South Pacific.  

And there are few Canberra District based wineries that are as committed to crafting exceptional wines and supporting inspirational enterprises as Shaw Vineyard Estate. So both parties are delighted to announce the official appointment of Shaw Vineyard Estate as the wine partner of the Australian War Memorial.

Memorial Director Brendan Nelson said he was extremely pleased to have a local wine maker of the calibre of Shaw as the exclusive wine sponsor.

“The Australian War Memorial endeavours to ensure every visitor to this place walks away with an experience they will never forget. Excellence in the visitor experience extends beyond those who wander the galleries and reflect on the artefacts on display, to those who choose the Memorial as a place for their corporate function or event,” Dr Nelson said.

“Shaw Vineyard Estate has an excellent reputation for quality, which befits the status of what the Australian War Memorial represents.”  

Shaw Vineyard Estate Owner/Winemaker Graeme Shaw commented, “To be offered a partnership with such an Honoured and Dignified institution as the Australian War Memorial is something that makes me and my family incredibly proud.”

“The Memorial is a manifestation of the Australian character and we believe our wines, that are full of Canberra character, will be an ideal fit.”

So join the Australian War Memorial in raising a glass of Shaw Vineyard Estate when paying tribute and honour to our Country’s service men and women.
