Vintage 2023 is underway!

By March 21, 2023March 22nd, 2023No Comments

Our fourth vintage is underway at the Research Winery.

A winery trial client dropped off this Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc today, kick-starting vintage 2023 at BRI’s Research Winery. With just 35kg required to run a ferment in our custom tanks, there were no trucks required. We’re excited to get trials underway for our various clients, plus our research projects.  Best of luck to the rest of the industry for vintage 2023!

Plastic crates filled with green grapes are stacked on a wooden pallet in a bright indoor space. A person's legs, wearing jeans and brown shoes, are visible in the background. Several blue crates are also stacked nearby.

A modern grape sorting machine with an orange exterior is being operated by a person on a ladder pouring in grapes from a black crate. Another person walks by carrying grapes. The setting is a bright, industrial facility.
