Viticulture

We help to improve the processes of grape planting, growing and harvesting. Using precision viticulture, we provide the technological edge so that you can improve production, create a superior product and secure your bottom line.

Virgin Site Survey

Virgin site survey

We can help you understand the true value of any potential purchase, provide guidance on how to get the best of the land, warn you of any potential pitfalls and put you in touch with gifted wine consultants, who can help make a reality of your dreams.  We can help you to understand your terroir cheaper, quicker and more accurately. In some areas the planting of vines on steep slopes is illegal: we can precisely measure what proportion of the land is potentially productive.  Given the hundreds of thousands of dollars per acre that it can cost to buy and plant real estate, we're here to help you make the right decision, first time.

 

Purchase analysis survey

We can help reduce the risks associated with buying a vineyard.  We can identify potential pitfalls and opportunities prior to purchase.  Just because a winemaker has a great reputation or Parker score does not necessarily mean it has great vineyards - it might be buying many of its grapes from other suppliers and gifted winemakers might be making the best of what there is.  Conversly, a poor reputation today does not necessarily mean that a vineyard is not capable of producing fantastic grapes and wine.  We'll help you understand your potential purchase and get the most from it.

 

Competitor and grower analysis

If you want to emulate an existing terroir, we can help you find the right place to do it and help you achieve it. Likewise, if you are buying grapes from a grower, then why not keep an eye on your block all year round? This can also put you in the driving seat when negotiating on price.

 

Vineyard design

Vineyard design

Working with leading winemakers, the greatly enhanced understanding provided by our technology ensures that the right decisions are made before rather than the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. We can provide you with a vineyard map with unprecedented accuracy and information at low cost.

 

Resource analysis

Resource management is becoming increasingly important, as resources become more scarce and expensive, as viticulture and the growing human population compete for limited natural resources.

 

Climate change analysis

One of our unique capabilities is that we can apply the latest climate models to our computer models existing or potential vineyards, so that you can think about how profitable they might be in ten, twenty or fifty years time.  Given the price of real estate and the cost and longevity of vines, knowing only about today is no longer enough.
