Feb 13 (Reuters) - Australia's Treasury Wine Estates
TWE.AX posted a 32.5% rise in its first-half profit on
Thursday, driven by strong growth in its luxury brand Penfolds
and higher contribution from DAOU vineyards.
The country's top winemaker said its net profit after tax
for six months ended December 31 was A$220.9 million ($138.73
million), compared with A$166.7 million a year ago. The Visible
Alpha consensus estimate was A$241.6 million.
