Services

We can provide a full contract winemaking service for stills, sparkling and natural wines, covering every aspect of wine making, from receiving your crates of grapes, to dispatching cases of wine to your clients

We have three presses and run two shifts during harvest, ensuring that we can press fruit when it is ready to pick. With temperature controlled tanks ranging in size from 20,000L to 400L, we can meet the needs of a range of clients

We have invested in a Pall cross flow filter, to ensure we can provide gentle filtration with minimal losses

We can riddle 6,000 bottles per week and our disgorging line can run at up to 1,000 bottles per hour. We also have jetting and fill height detection, to ensure consistency and quality control; and can disgorge magnums and half bottles

We can bottle still (cork and screw cap) and sparkling (bidule and crown cap) wines at up to 3,000 bottles per hour. We can apply foils, capsules, front, back and neck labels

We have temperature controlled secure bonded storage. These stores are separate, allowing us to adjust the temperature for wines going through secondary fermentation

In addition to fully insulated tanks, we can also use KHT and/or a portable chiller unit to cold stabilise smaller volumes

We offer a range of lab services. In addition to an OenoFoss machine, we have a dissolved oxygen and CO2 meter; a spectrophotometer; heat bath; centrifuge; and can run wet chemistry including sulphurs by aspiration

We can also help with sourcing wine and grapes. In the first instance, see our site: www.wineandgrapetrading.co.uk
