What AV&M does

AV&M (Advanced Viticulture & Management Pty Ltd) is an Australian vineyard management and consulting firm founded in 2002 and headquartered in Nuriootpa, South Australia. The company delivers a four-pillar service offering: Vineyard Development and Redevelopment (greenfields project planning, site selection, irrigation and trellis installation, planting, redevelopment and grafting); Vineyard Management and Contract Services (end-to-end operational management plus contract execution including herbicide and fungicide spraying, mechanical weed control, pruning, foliage management, bird netting, trellis and irrigation repairs, labor supply, and property maintenance, executed using AV&M's own equipment fleet and licensed operators); Vineyard Consulting and Technical Services (business planning, benchmarking, soil moisture and pest monitoring, fruit quality assessment, yield estimation, irrigation scheduling, and OH&S audits); and Independent Reviews and Reports (viability assessments, pre-purchase inspections, due diligence, dispute resolution, and quality assurance). Its target customer segments span Corporate Investment Groups, Wine Companies, Financial Institutions, and Private Vineyard Owners, served across three Australian states — South Australia, Victoria, and New South Wales.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are inferred to be a mix of contract service fees (spraying, pruning, equipment hire), project-based development fees (greenfields and redevelopment), and consulting/due-diligence engagements, sold through a direct relationship model. Pricing is not published. Headcount is 51-100, comprising a full executive team (CEO, CFO/Company Secretary, CPO, two GMs, Project and Vineyard Managers) plus operational staff.

AV&M is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Canada's Public Sector Pension Investments Board (PSP), a Canadian crown corporation and one of Canada's largest pension investment managers. The ownership structure points to a long-duration, capital-stable platform rather than a venture-backed or PE-portfolio business. A related entity, Fresh Country Vineyards Pty Ltd as trustee for Southern Premium Vineyard Trust (ACN 644 607 723), operates in conjunction with AV&M to acquire vineyards and deliver operational management, effectively extending AV&M's offering into asset acquisition. AV&M has no app, no public API, no disclosed proprietary software, and no AI/ML components; the underlying technology is operational (equipment and personnel) rather than digital.

Direct peers

• Elders Limited: ASX-listed Australian agribusiness services provider (Elders) selling rural services, real estate, and inputs to Australian farmers including wine grape growers. Directly comparable because it competes for vineyard management, advisory, and input-service spend across the same Australian wine regions as AV&M.

Regional players

• Yalumba: Family-owned Barossa Valley wine producer with significant owned vineyard assets. Comparable as a regional Barossa-based wine company with vineyard operations requiring redevelopment and technical services of the kind AV&M supplies.
• Casella Wines: Family-owned Australian wine company behind Yellow Tail with extensive Riverina vineyard holdings. Comparable as a major Australian vineyard owner/operator in regions where AV&M provides services, sharing customer-supplier dynamics with AV&M.
• Australian Vintage Limited: ASX-listed Australian wine company (Tempus Two, McGuigan brands) with vineyard estates across NSW and SA. Comparable as a regional wine operator whose vineyard management requirements overlap with AV&M's service scope.
• Brown Brothers: Family-owned Victorian wine producer with substantial vineyard acreage. Comparable as a regional Australian wine company with vineyard assets that could be served — and that competes for — the same vineyard management capability pool.

Emerging players

• Select Harvests: ASX-listed Australian horticulture business focused on almonds and food products with vertically integrated orchard management. Comparable as an adjacent Australian agricultural operator that demonstrates the model of institutional, multi-state orchard/vineyard asset management that AV&M provides to its customers.

Broad incumbents

• Costa Group Holdings: ASX-listed Australian horticulture producer and vertically integrated marketer. Comparable as a large-scale Australian operator with in-house farm management capabilities across multiple crop categories, including berry and citrus operations that compete for similar skilled-vineyard management talent and share adjacent customer profiles.
• Nutrien Ag Solutions: Global ag inputs and services retailer (formerly Landmark in Australia) serving broadacre and horticulture customers including Australian vineyards. Comparable as a large incumbent that bundles agronomy, inputs, and on-farm services, overlapping with AV&M's contract and technical services.
• Pernod Ricard Winemakers: Australian wine arm of global spirits group Pernod Ricard (Jacob's Creek, Wyndham, Orlando). Comparable as a large institutional wine owner with Barossa/Riverina vineyard estates requiring external management and redevelopment services, positioning it as both AV&M-style operator and prospective customer.
• Treasury Wine Estates: ASX-listed global wine company owning Penfolds, Wolf Blass, and other Australian wine brands with substantial owned vineyard assets. Comparable because it is both a potential customer for AV&M's vineyard management services and a vertically integrated competitor for vineyard operational talent in the same regions.
