• How much wine or fruit is involved?

• Is fruit contracted, identified, or still being sourced?

• Which services need to happen under the custom crush partner?

• What storage, aging, bottling, or private-label needs could affect fit?

1. Project snapshot

• Project type: vineyard owner, restaurant, hotel, venue, emerging brand, existing winery, or private label
• Primary decision maker, phone number, email, company, and preferred next step
• Decision stage: ready to schedule, need answer before August, comparing facilities, or planning ahead

2. Fruit and volume

• Estimated tons, gallons, target cases, bottle count, or SKU count
• Varietals, vineyard source, AVA, block notes, fruit status, and whether sourcing is complete
• Expected August, September, October, or future harvest window with any timing risks

3. Cellar scope

• Services needed: crush, pressing, fermentation, aging, lab work, stability, storage, or bottling coordination
• Wine style: red, white, rosé, reserve, house wine, event wine, amenity bottle, grower label, or overflow lot
• Tank, barrel, case-goods, and over-vintage storage expectations

4. Commercial deadline

• Target bottling, restaurant launch, hotel amenity date, event season, club release, or retail window
• Packaging assumptions: label timing, bottle format, closure, carton needs, compliance support, and bottling handoff
• What would make the project a yes: price clarity, harvest slot, services, timeline, quality path, or storage fit

Sort the project before the cellar calendar sorts it for you.

Fastest to screen

Known fruit source, estimated volume, 2026 pick window, service scope, phone number, and decision owner.

Still useful

Volume or timing is a range, but the project has a real fruit source, launch date, or hospitality use case.

Needs shaping

Idea-stage private-label or brand concepts that still need case targets, budget, fruit, and release timing.

Project brief questions.

Why prepare a custom crush project brief before requesting a quote?

A brief gives the production team the details that determine fit: project type, volume, fruit status, pick window, cellar services, storage needs, release date, and decision urgency. That makes the first quote or capacity screen more useful.

Do I need exact tons before submitting the form?

No. A realistic range is enough to begin. Include what could change, such as crop estimate, fruit contract status, weather, launch timing, or final case goals.

Who should use this project brief?

Growers, vineyard owners, restaurants, hotels, venues, winery overflow projects, private-label buyers, and emerging brands can all use the brief before asking about 2026 Temecula custom crush capacity.
