VINTAGE PLANNING
The Harvest Manual ™ is our unique service that is customised to your winery that details the operating and vinification process from vineyard to winery presented as a hard copy and digital folder. The Harvest Manual ™ represents the apex of our consultation service allowing you the time to focus on the most crucial facets of the vintage without having to be concerned about minor operating details. In addition, it provides you with an historic annual traceability record that you can use to improve your winemaking together with your methods of production.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT AND WINEMAKING
Exceptional products require exceptional planning. The development of your specific wine protocol can proceed either after product ideation or wine portfoilo design. This step develops the primary production protocol for your particular wine detailing the origin of the grapes into the specifics of the winemaking process. Whether you choose to pursue natural, organic, biodyanamic or traditional winemaking, great wine requires some form of intervention. My role is to guide this process in a minimalist fashion that allows your wine to be ushered gently through your winery from grape to wine to bottle.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Designed to save you time, money and more importantly emotional and physical stress by evaluating your work systems and assisting you to refine them. Building efficiencies into your business is a necessary function in today's world that allows for overall increased work performance by both employer and employee. This is achieved by instilling a best practice approach mindset within the business that can be translated into standard operating procedures and protocols.
NO WORK WEDNESDAYS
No Work Wednesdays represents the innovative undertaking involving a small group of people that is outside the normal research and development channels within a organisation. Within the spectrum of wine, this is the department that creates products that breaks the chains of conformity and standard wine production. Whether you are a new winery or an established brand, our creative process will provide the tools to conceptually design and germinate innovative services or products. As a business owner, it is vital to develop the knowledge to know when to work in your business versus working on your business. Working on your business allows you the space to evolve, innovate and create.
