The winery’s barrel room

Almost nobody owns the wine they sell

The bulk market runs through intermediaries. They buy wherever it suits that year and resell. Their ability to commit to quality ends where market availability ends.

Fine for one transaction. It stops working when you need the same wine five campaigns running.

The difference

We produce what we sell

370 hectares of our own, our own winery, our own laboratory. When we commit to a profile, we are committing to something we control: the fruit, the process and the tank.

That changes the price conversation.

Broker / intermediary Integrated producer

Control of origin

Buys whatever the market has that year.

Vineyards owned or controlled, managed to a plan set before harvest.

Multi-year commitment

Holds for as long as the market allows.

Signed against our own capacity and a documented profile.

Response to a difficult harvest

Passes the problem on: reformulation, price or delay.

Offsets between origins and uses thermovinification to hold the profile.

Traceability

Reaches the supplier who sold it to them.

Reaches the block, with analysis and a signature per lot.

Who answers

Coordinates between winery, carrier and client.

From vineyard to shipment, the same company answers.

A broker quotes what he found. We work out how to reach your number.

Vintage consistency

The hidden cost is called vintage variation

It gets paid in reformulations, in product rejected at destination, in a consumer who notices the wine changed.

  • Thermovinification

    To stabilise colour and fruit when the year does not deliver them on its own.

  • Several origins

    To offset a weak year in one zone with what another delivered.

  • Analysis per lot

    Against a documented profile, before the lot moves.

We do not eliminate variation. We keep it inside a range your business can absorb.

Scale

Room for your programme to grow

Spare capacity is a commercial function. We run with deliberate headroom so we can say yes when your volume doubles.

The winery’s tank hall 8million litres

of installed capacity

Pump-over: wine falling onto the cap in the tank 30million litres

of annual throughput

The distance between the two figures is the headroom left the day your volume doubles.

Segments

From entry price to exclusive development

Entry wines with the profile built to the price. Premium programmes. Exclusive blends. From a single flexitank to annual commitments.

Entry

Profile built to a defined shelf price. Volume and regularity.

Premium

Programmes that demand a profile held campaign after campaign.

Exclusive blends

Blends developed for one client and their market.

Annual commitment

From a single flexitank to a volume committed by the year.

How it works

Five steps, and a reference that does not move

Step 4 is the one that changes the relationship: from there on there is a written profile against which everything that follows is measured.

  1. 01

    You tell us the price you need to hit, the market and what it competes against.

  2. 02

    We propose profiles with their composition and cost.

  3. 03

    We send samples. We adjust until it is the wine.

  4. 04

    The approved profile is documented. It becomes the reference for every shipment after it.

  5. 05

    Every shipment is analysed and approved against that reference before it leaves.

A market, a target price and an estimated volume are enough to begin.
