We have been offering the service of Tirage / bottling of the blended wine for more than 20 years, and 2021 marks the launch of additional services to complete the Cap Classique production process.

Riddling

A lot of South African Cap Classique producers still riddle their wine manually, which is a long and therefore costly process (usually between 4 and 6 weeks and up to 3 months depending on the nature of the wine, bottle shape and skill of the "remuer").

We now have several Gyropalettes® Duo at your disposal, each one of them being able to riddle 1008 bottles in 3 to 5 days.

Benefits : In addition to helping you save costs and time, these automated systems enable you to perform a perfect riddling without a skilled remuer, and help you optimize your floor space use as it needs significantly less space than what is needed for A-Frames. 
​
This service is offered mobile (delivered to your cellar).
​

Disgorging / Degorgement

We can also assist you with :
- A brand new neck freezing unit for ice disgorging (using the revolutionary and eco-friendly Green Ice Technology)
- An automatic disgorging mono block ( combining the disgorging, dosage, mixing, wine leveling, corking and wire-hooding operations)
- A bottle washer and dryer top ensure that the bottles are left perfectly clean and dry, ready for labelling

Average speed : 900 Bottles per hour
​This service will be offered mobile (delivered to your cellar), all machinery onboard a 40ft container.

Neck Freezing Unit :
GREEN ICE®  is an unfreezing solution 100% plant-based, patented by DUGUIT Technologies.
It has several advantages :
  • compared to Mono-Propylene Glycol which is usually used, it has a lower environmental impact thanks to its natural base ingredients
  • it gets colder faster than MPG
  • it boasts ​better performance for less electricity consumption
  • it has a low viscosity at cooler temperature => easy to clean, no mess
  • it helps form more homogeneous ice plug for less wine loss
