Unlocking More Value from Every Harvest
A patented, in-line continuous processing technology that unlocks more value from every harvest.
The Problem Wineries Face
- Only c.60% of grape juice is typically used (free-run + light press)
- Hard press and lees are often discarded due to tannins and bitterness
- Long maturation ties up energy, tank space, warehousing, and cash
- Inventory delays sales and increases reliance on finance (incl. wine-backed finance)
What Vinalchemy Does
Vinalchemy is a patented, low-oxygen gas-assisted wine processing system that accelerates the natural ageing reactions of wine safely, precisely, and instantly.
- Condenses and softens tannins
- Locks in colour and integrates aromas
- Fixes wine at the exact end-point chosen by the winemaker
- Delivers market-ready wine in months instead of years
- The process is completed in-line, within 24 hours, using a single system for the whole winery
The Commercial Benefits for Wineries
1. Higher Yields from the Same Grapes
- Full utilisation of hard press (raising grape utilisation to c.80%)
- Optional lees recovery (up to 70% of lees recoverable)
- Total juice utilisation can reach c.95%
- Equivalent to a 30–60% yield uplift per harvest, depending on choices
- More bottles produced with no additional vineyard cost
2. Major Cost Savings
- Up to 66% HVAC energy savings
- Reduced lighting and production energy
- Minimal need for long-term storage or warehousing
- Less reliance on general and wine-backed finance
- Lower working capital tied up in stock
3. Faster Time to Market
- Wines can be market-ready in c.4 months
- Traditional oak ageing and MOX can take 12–24+ months
- Earlier release = earlier cash realisation
- Extended drinking window and improved shelf life
Proven, Tested, and Certified
Independent trials conducted at The UK’s Centre of Excellence for Wine, Plumpton College confirmed that Vinalchemy:
- Significantly improves colour density
- Optimises phenolics and tannins
- Harmonises acidity and reduces volatile acidity
- Produces wines statistically closer to naturally aged exemplars
- Results validated using ANOVA, PCA, and hierarchical clustering, and tested in triplicate
Simple to Adopt
- Uses your existing presses and cellar infrastructure
