WE PROJECT MANAGE BEVERAGE LIQUID DEVELOPMENT, KEEPING OUR EYE ON THE LATEST TRENDS SO THAT WE CAN RESPOND TO THE MARKET.
AT THE CENTRE OF OUR FACILITY IS THE RECIPE CREATION LAB, WHERE IN LINE WITH RECENT TRENDS WE CAN PRODUCE AND PACK LOW AND NO ALCOHOL PRODUCTS. LED BY OUR RESIDENT BEVERAGE BLENDING MANAGER WE PROJECT MANAGE BEVERAGE DEVELOPMENT TO REDUCE COSTS WITHOUT COMPROMISING QUALITY BY USING:
TASTE PANELS
SENSORY ANALYSIS
FORMULA OPTIMISATION
To bring the recipes to life we have a state of the art, high speed beverage blending facility, capable of combining multiple ingredients to provide a perfectly blended product, with accurate targeting of ABV throughout. The ATEX rated equipment can safely process a broad spectrum of ABV liquids, from 0% to high strength. Storage tanks and transfer lines designed specifically for liquid processing guarantees product quality from start of blend to bottling.
WINE LABORATORY
EXPERTISE, INNOVATION AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY ARE USED TO IMPLEMENT RIGOROUS TESTING FOR EXCEPTIONAL PRODUCTS.
We provide full laboratory analytics for our customers with an in-house laboratory operated by highly skilled technicians. Their excellent technical abilities and full competency enables them to operate, calibrate and maintain our equipment. We also have two resident wine makers on site, who are trained in systematic tasting of wine up to at least WSET level 2 to assess and consult on production.

Meticulous testing across a number of indicators ensures that our products only leave once they meet our high standards.
Microbiological testing ensures that there is no microbial activity in the wine which could lead to its spoilage.
Our assessments extend to organoleptic testing, to evaluate the flavour, odour, appearance and mouthfeel of the wine.
STATE OF THE ART ANALYSIS ENSURES PRODUCTS ARE RIGHT
