Riverland Wine has announced the appointment of Brigid Nolan as the new Chair of Riverland Wine, and the re‑election of Amanda Dimas as Chair of the Riverland Winegrape Growers Association (RWGA).
Riverland Wine acknowledged and sincerely thanked retiring Chair Jim Markeas for his hard work, leadership, and deep commitment to the organisation and the broader Riverland wine community. His significant contribution through a period of intense industry challenge is warmly recognised, and we are pleased to confirm that Jim will continue to serve as a Director on the Riverland Wine Board.
Riverland Wine also extended appreciation to Peter Hill, who has retired from his seat on Riverland Wine Board, but will continue as a Board member on RWGA. Peter has been a highly valued member of the Board, and his contribution to growers and the regional sector is gratefully acknowledged.
Following the election process, Courtney Hume will now join the Riverland Wine Board as the fourth RWGA representative, joining Philip Smith and Harry Magiarapis.
Lucy Clements and Jim Godden also remain as winery representatives on the Riverland Wine Board.
These appointments strengthen Riverland Wine’s leadership at a time when the sector continues to face complex structural, market, and sustainability challenges.
The association looks forward to working with both Chairs and the full Board to advocate for growers and wineries, support a resilient future for the region, and progress strategic initiatives for the Riverland wine industry.
