• Increased Storage & Capacity: Storage and production tanks increased from 144,000 L to 346,000 L to support higher volumes.
• Purpose-Built for Quality: Located away from grape crushing and fermentation activity for a cleaner production environment.
• Upgraded Infrastructure: New flooring and drainage aligned with stringent food safety and quality systems.
• Sustainability at the Core: A fully covered solar panel roof to optimize power utilization; covered offloading/loading inside the facility.
• Enhanced R&D Capabilities: A dedicated lab and product development area to accelerate innovation.

Investing in Advanced Equipment and Technology
