Tomich Wines

In reply to the Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (17 October 2019).

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment): I have never promoted the Tomich brand overseas as minister or been accompanied by Tomich Wines on a trade mission.

I understand Tomich Wines was one of 34 South Australian companies and one of 27 wineries that registered to attend the 2019 China International Import Expo (CIIE).

All companies were required to register as part of an expression of interest process.

On my most recent visit to China, part of my program included briefly attending CIIE to support all attending South Australian businesses.

As minister, I am proud to promote all of South Australia as an attractive investment destination and reliable trade partner.
