Wine-specific applications

Test the actual wine. Approve only what earns its place.

There is no universal treatment for every wine. Each application begins on the VL250, is reviewed by the winery and moves to production only after the winemaker approves the result.

01

One evaluation discipline

The same clear route, whatever the question.

  1. 01

    Define and test

    Define the winery objective and test the actual wine on the VL250.

  2. 02

    Taste, analyse and refine

    Let the winery’s sensory and analytical review decide whether the result earns approval.

  3. 03

    Save and scale

    Save only the approved recipe and scale after production-side confirmation.

02

Core wine applications

Every response remains wine- and vintage-specific.

Objective → evaluation → route

Red wine

Winery objective: Define the desired maturation, structure, colour and sensory endpoint.

VL250 evaluation: Compare controlled settings on the actual wine through the winery’s own tasting and analytical process.

Production route: Scale only the recipe approved for that wine and vintage.

Objective → evaluation → route

White wine

Winery objective: Define the profile and production decision without assuming the same response as a red-wine programme.

VL250 evaluation: Create controlled samples, compare settings and review the actual wine.

Production route: Use only the wine-specific recipe approved by the winery.

Objective → evaluation → route

Rosé

Winery objective: Set a clear sensory and production objective for the selected rosé.

VL250 evaluation: Compare treated and untreated profiles through winery review.

Production route: Move forward only when the result is approved for that wine and vintage.

Objective → evaluation → route

Sparkling base wine

Winery objective: Evaluate a defined base-wine or permitted production-stage objective while preserving applicable legal and production requirements.

VL250 evaluation: Treat and compare the actual base wine through sensory and analytical evaluation.

Production route: Scale only after approval. The nine-month bottle minimum and three-month post-disgorgement hold remain unchanged in the approved commercial example.

03

Qualified recovery opportunities

Press fractions and lees-derived streams.

Hard-press opportunity

Up to c.80%

Hard-press fractions require separation, sensory review and VL250 trials before any production decision.

Separated-lees opportunity

Up to c.95%

Lees recovery takes place using separate centrifuge equipment before any Vinalchemy treatment.

These are qualified opportunities, not universal yields or assumptions in the headline model. Results vary by grape, press settings, separation method, wine response and winemaker approval.

04

Research and development

A controlled platform for questions before scale.

Use the VL250 for comparative trials, new recipe development and investigation of wine-specific processing questions before production is considered.

Trial discipline

Context always travels with the claim

  • Shelf life and sensory development
  • SO₂ and volatile acidity
  • Oak extraction
  • Yield and sustainability

Each discussion remains tied to its original wine, trial, process and regional context.
