Top Line Water is one of the most critical—and increasingly scrutinized—resources in modern winemaking. From cleaning tanks and floors to maintaining oak barrels, cellar operations can consume thousands of gallons daily. With rising sustainability expectations and operational costs, reducing water use is not just good for the environment, it is good for business. Water conservation is becoming an issue in modern winemaking. In the past, much of the conversation centered around vineyard irrigation. Today, one of the most overlooked areas of water consumption occurs in the cleaning and maintenance of barrels. Small efficiency improvements per barrel can translate into thousands of gallons saved per year in your operation. The Challenge Traditional oak barrels, while prized for the unique flavor addition and maturation with O2, also come with a significant sustainability issue: water usage. Cleaning and sanitizing an oak barrel typically require several high-impact water even

When you’re weighing your irrigation automation options for your next vineyard development project, there are good reasons to consider putting Lumo in from the start. 1.

Everything will run automatically according to the schedule you set, even overnight and on weekends and holidays.  You’ll eliminate the risk of under or over-irrigating because you’ll be tracking water volumes at a block level and you’ll receive alerts whenever there’s something up with your irrigation system performance.  Nailing your irrigation upfront is critical to the longevity of your vines, ensuring their roots get properly established and improving the long-term productivity of your vineyard.  With Lumo in from the start, you can be 100% certain your vines are getting the care they need to thr

Techniques available to winemakers, especially for those crafting fine white and sparkling wines, have continued to evolve through the years, providing more sophisticated options for fine-tuning the style and complexity of their finished products. Winemakers frequently use cross-flow filtration for clarification and microbial stabilization of wine. The tangential flow of juice across the filter’s membrane surface limits clogging and allows continuous cleaning of the membrane. This technology is well-suited for wineries seeking very fine clarification during post-fermentation processing.  However, its highly automated machinery can be too expensive for smaller wineries, and its high product loss level is more impactful for small batch processing of high-quality wines. “Today, these smaller wineries use cross-flows from mobile services or manual systems, very likely pad filters,” says Massimiliano Buiani, Chief Operating Officer for JUCLAS, USA. “Pad filte
