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
  • One system can service the entire winery
  • Rental model no capex required
  • Scalable and selectable: process only the wine you choose
  • Controllable using IOT technology

Why Choose Vinalchemy

  • More wine from the same grapes
  • Lower energy and storage costs
  • Increased profits, faster sales and stronger cash flow
  • Improved taste, colour, and consistency
  • Award-winning, independently validated technology
