-
Once we receive your base wine we prepare a yeast culture specific to your wine for purity and viability. We then mechanically mix your wine, sugar and yeast to ensure consistency across all bottles. Filling occurs under inert gas conditions and each bottle is then sealed under bidule and crown utilising our state of the art GAI Tirage monoblock purpose built for precision and speed.
-
We provide on-site climate controlled storage to ensure the critical secondary bottle fermentation stages are secured. With the support of our third party off-site storage providers we have the capacity to provide for affordable, large scale and long-term climate controlled Sur lee bottle aging periods as requested by the client.
-
Riddling is carried out using automated Quattro Gyro systems supported by traditional hand riddling racks for smaller or unique batches. Dosage trials are available on request and prepared to client specifications. Disgorgement is performed with our fully automated mono block for standard bottles and our semi-automated system for magnum format.
