Vineyard Management
Winemaking Consultancy
Contract Winemaking
Our vineyard management service is grounded in a simple but often overlooked principle: the goal is not to grow perfect-looking grapes, but to grow grapes that make great wine. We tailor viticultural practices to the intended wine style, recognising that balance, flavour development, and concentration matter far more than cosmetic uniformity. Working at a detailed, site-specific level—from pruning and canopy management to harvest timing—our decisions are driven by how vines express themselves in the glass. By focusing on vine balance and site expression rather than yield or visual ideals, we help unlock deeper complexity, texture, and character: grapes grown with purpose, not polish.
Our winemaking consultancy combines decades of technical expertise with a genuinely practical, hands-on approach in the cellar. We work alongside producers at every stage of the process, from fruit reception and fermentation management through to blending and bottling, ensuring decisions are grounded in science and backed up by experience. With a strong understanding of how small choices can make a big difference, we tailor our approach to the intended style rather than applying fixed recipes. By being present, involved, and accountable in the cellar—not just advising from a distance—we help translate intent into wines of integrity, balance, and character, made for purpose, with confidence.
For vineyards without their own winery, our contract winemaking provides a platform to bring each site’s unique character to life. Working through small, carefully chosen facilities, we offer bespoke guidance at every stage—whether managing fermentation, refining blends, or coordinating bottling. Each vineyard receives tailored attention, with decisions shaped around the fruit, the soil, and the style you want to achieve. By combining personalised support with a flexible, fully equipped environment, we help vineyards transform their grapes into wines that truly express their terroir, individuality, and vision.
Bespoke Experimentation
Financial Planning
For producers looking to explore the full potential of their grapes, there is the opportunity to push boundaries and test new ideas. Drawing on a team with expertise across a wide range of styles, techniques, and regions, we work closely with each vineyard to unlock expressions that might otherwise remain hidden. From inventive blends, aromatised styles and fortification to unconventional approaches that challenge tradition, every project is tailored to the character of the fruit and the vision of the producer. Guided by curiosity, collaboration, and a passion for discovery, we help producers explore without limits, revealing unique expressions of terroir that are as distinctive and ambitious as those who grow them.
Turning a dream into a sustainable reality starts with careful planning and clear financial insight. We work closely with producers to map cashflow, budget effectively, and identify breakeven and profit points, ensuring every decision is grounded in practicality without compromising ambition. By providing tailored advice and strategic guidance, we help producers navigate the unique challenges of the market, optimise resources, and uncover opportunities to make their projects not just viable, but truly profitable. With a focus on clarity, foresight, and achievable growth, we help turn passion projects into profitable businesses that can thrive year after year.
