Cellar checkpoints
Fermentation capacity depends on more than tanks. Send the details that shape the cellar plan.
Fruit + style intake
Varietal, tonnage, vineyard status, target wine style, and production timeline are clarified before cellar work starts.
Yeast + nutrient plan
Fermentation decisions are aligned to the wine goal instead of treated as a generic crush-pad checklist.
Daily cellar monitoring
Brix, temperature, cap management, additions, and red/white/rosé handling are tracked through active fermentation.
Lab-informed next steps
Juice, wine, aging, stability, filtration, and storage decisions are tied back to measurable production checkpoints.
FAQ
Fermentation support before harvest pressure hits.
Do you offer fermentation management as part of custom crush?+
Yes. Fermentation management is part of the broader custom crush program, including grape receipt, crush or pressing, monitoring, additions, rackings, lab work, aging, and storage planning.
Can you support both red and white fermentation programs?+
Yes. The production path depends on the fruit, style, volume, and timing. Red programs may include crush, fermentation, pressing, ML monitoring, rackings, and aging; white and rosé programs emphasize pressing, juice handling, temperature control, stability, and bottle-ready planning.
What should I send to screen fermentation capacity?+
Send tons or volume, varietals, pick window, current fruit status, desired style, and whether you need crush, pressing, aging, lab work, storage, bottling coordination, or private-label planning.
Fermentation capacity request
