Harvest season is when everything happens at once—and the equipment you rely on needs to do more than just keep up. For small and mid-sized wineries producing between 2,000 and 20,000 cases annually, efficiency and flexibility are essential. Whether you’re dealing with hand- picked grapes, machine harvested fruit, varying varietals, or tight crush pad space, your destemmer-crusher needs to deliver quality results without slowing you down or locking you into a rigid setup. That’s where the right equipment makes all the difference. You need something that’s not just capable—but configurable. Not just powerful—but versatile.

Have you met Gravity Wine House founder, Jeff Pisoni? Jeff loves making wine—and considers himself a lifelong student of enology. It’s the craft that his father inspired him to explore, study and pursue since he was just a toddler. Through his role as a winemaker, Jeff developed a passion for exchanging information and insights with the winemaking community, all with the goal of driving for higher quality wine and methods. This passion is seen through our work with clients on both our mobile bottling line and in the cellar. Jeff recently spoke with Wine Industry Advisor on the reasons behind using the Armbruster Rotovib for unprecedented grape processing quality for Pisoni Family Vineyards, as well as our clients at Gravity Wine House.  Read the full article on Wine Industry Advisor

Situation: Winemakers producing premium wines know that wine quality is dependent upon the efficient removal of fruit from the vine and preparing the berries for destemming, a critical process requiring high-end, sophisticated, and reliable grape handling equipment. Jeff Pisoni, Winemaker at Pisoni Vineyards, had been looking to upgrade their previous destemmer for quite some time. “There was a lack of innovation in destemmers for a while,” comments Pisoni. “Purchasing new processing equipment is a big investment and long-term commitment, so we were waiting for the next generation of destemmers to come to market since destemming and sorting is such a critical part of the winemaking process.” When new destemmers did start to become available, it was clear they all had the common goal of giving wineries a very clean destemming process with as little MOG (material other than grapes) as possible. However, only the Armbruster Rotovib Destemmer delivered a f

Building a crush pad to commercially process wine grapes at scale may be daunting. Luckily we've been doing it for years, and we have a few tips. Here are some ways you can use equipment to make harvest something to look forward to, not fear. This is a two-part series. In part one we'll take a look at everything up to the press. In part two, we'll take a deeper dive into presses. Step One: Receiving Grapes The first thing to consider is how you'll be receiving grapes, and how you'll be feeding the grapes into your processing equipment. In the US, grapes are typically moved in bins—they're referred to as macro bins, T-bins, or just plain old "bins". Given that bins are the most common way to receive grapes, they are also the most common way to load them into and out of crush pad equipment. This being the case, a forklift-mounted bin dumper tends to be a pretty crucial piece of equipment. You'll want to talk to a forklift sales company about t
