Good winemaking is built before the problem appears.
Protocols, technical control and decisions made at the right moment.
The right decisions — from grape reception to bottling preparation — are not improvised during the harvest season, but prepared with a clear protocol and a real understanding of the target wine style.
CORE builds winemaking protocols adapted to the product objective, the available equipment and the real capabilities of the winery. Every intervention is justified by a technical reason and a quality objective.
In-season support means real monitoring, decisions made with data, and rapid adjustments when conditions require it.
When this area becomes critical.
Situations where lack of protocol, monitoring or technological criteria risks wine quality and consistency.
No winemaking protocol, or one poorly adapted to the objective
Technological decisions are made empirically, without a documented protocol that reflects the target wine style.
Insufficient fermentation monitoring
Fermentation parameters are not tracked systematically, increasing the risk of quality deviations or losses.
Unjustified use of oenological products
Oenological products are used by routine, not based on an analysis of the actual need and the impact on the wine style.
What we evaluate.
Parameters, cellar capabilities and practices that influence winemaking decisions.
Capacity and equipment
- Processing capacity
- Reception and sorting equipment
- Fermentation vessels
- Temperature control systems
- Storage capacity
Winemaking practices
- Existing protocol
- Extraction practices
- Malolactic fermentation management
- Use of oenological products
- Hygiene practices
Where we intervene.
Action areas calibrated to winery equipment and target wine profile.
Winemaking protocol
Defining a protocol adapted to the target wine style, the varieties and the technical capabilities of the winery.
In-season winemaking monitoring
Tracking key fermentation parameters, assessing wine evolution and providing real-time decision support.
Winemaking season strategy
Planning the winemaking season — operation schedule, required resources and critical decision points.
Oenological product assessment
Analysis of current oenological product use and recommendation of a technically justified set.
What the intervention delivers.
Documented winemaking protocols and structured winemaking season reports.
Documented winemaking protocol
Structured document with the steps, parameters and key decisions for each stage of the winemaking season.
Winemaking season report
Documentation of the winemaking season — decisions made, parameters recorded and recommendations for the following season.
No decision stands alone.
Every choice in winemaking directly or indirectly influences adjacent stages in the wine business system.
In real projects.
Concrete examples from the CORE Advisory portfolio where this competency was applied in practice.
New Winery Development
Development of a new winery project starting from an existing vineyard, covering viticultural assessment, target wine style definition, winery technological process-flow configuration, and preparation for the first winemaking season.
Ongoing Winemaking Advisory — Third Season
Winemaking advisory engagement in its third consecutive season, reflecting a sustained working relationship and continued involvement in the production process.
Technical Intervention at Raw Wine Stage
Targeted technical intervention requested at the raw wine stage.
