YEALANDS - THE BITS THE CSC DID NOT SEE

These are some of the statistics and bits of the operation we didn't see!


  • 1000 Ha estate, 850 Ha Vines
  • 14000 Tonnes grapes / Yr
  • Ten new 175k tanks, total tank capactities 11million litres
  • Each tank = warm or cold Glycol around rings to control fermentation. Tanks in cold room, wine will get to -3
  • Wine bulked out for bottling elsewhere
  • Prunings boilers for heating tanks
  • 30 Tonne intake hopper
Staggering!
