What temperature should wine grapes be stored at?
8 °C to 15 °C cellar, 0–4 °C cold stabilisation at 70–80% RH, giving roughly Vintage cycle. We set and verify these bands during commissioning.
When is the wine grapes season around Cape Town?

Can you expand our existing Cape Town facility?
Yes — we audit the current envelope and plant capacity first, then add chambers or pre-cooling without redesigning the whole site.
