Take the agro out of agrochemical residues
To maintain Australia’s excellent reputation for food safety it is essential that Australian wineries and grapegrowers continue to ensure their products meet the requirements of the Food Standards Code. This includes compliance with maximum residue limits (MRLs) of agrochemical residues for Australia and export destinations. AWRI Commercial Services offers a large simultaneous screen of approximately 70 registered or recently deregistered agrochemicals at levels at or below the lowest MRL of any export destination. This analysis can be done on either grapes or wines and enables wineries to evaluate their risk of non-compliance with domestic or export regulations. More details are available on the agrochemical analysis webpage. The AWRI website also contains a database of MRLs for all major wine export destinations and agrochemicals.

Read more >Trademark Protection & Disputes?
There is little or no wine brand value without trademark protection and it’s unwise to invest in your brand without it. Protection gives you the secure right to sell your wine without interference from third parties; enables you to sell your brand rights; and stops another winery from selling wine under your name. With infringement enforcement you should consider the legal issues, prospects of success and likely legal costs. So advice from 30-year specialist wine sector lawyer Mark Hamilton will save time and cost by cutting to the real issues quickly and cost efficiently. Call Mark on 0412 842 359 [email protected]

Frustrated by inadequate attention to your brand in the NSW and Victoria markets. Sales demographs today require the flexibility to trade with major retailers whilst maintaining the core presence in the on premise and independent markets. A juggling act at best, especially with third party distributors who are torn between self-preservation and appeasement of an epic sized volume of suppliers. We are a well-established and privately owned 30,000 case production premium winery with plans to grow to 50,000 per annum our wholesale price points well above $120 per dozen pre-tax.

The vintrace App – available on the App Store
The team at Vintrace are passionate about both wine and technology. Forming in 2006, and drawing on their extensive experience in IT and winemaking, they’ve pursued their goal of delivering the most impressive digital tool kit to the global wine industry. Vintrace has successfully moved thousands of winemakers from away from a paper-based systems so they can focus more time on making great wine. Vintrace has continued this evolution with the introduction of the Vintrace iOS mobile app – now available on the App store. With all the power of Vintrace in-hand, winemakers have everything they need to make timely decisions while roaming the cellar, walking the rows or conducting a tasting with VIPs. Using the App, winemakers can quickly scan bar-coded tanks and barrels to look up current labs, composition and status. Recording lab data, such as Brix/Temp during fermentation, can be done in the cellar, no more clipboards, no more spreadsheets.
To experience Vintrace and the new App first hand contact us here at [email protected] for a demonstration.
Do you know the nature of the soil-terroir your vines interact with everyday?
Terroir imparts the wine characteristics that distinguish where it is from. Most high-value wines strongly reflect a particular terroir (i.e. climate, topography and soil). Climate and topography effects are usually obvious, while soil effects are not. Yet vines interact everyday with soil to extract moisture and nutrients – an interaction that imparts particular fruit characters. Most vineyards, however, contain several key soil types – meaning even single vineyard wines are a blend of specific terroirs. Soil profile excavations allow morphological, physical and chemical assessment of key soils, improving understanding of root growth issues, nutrition, irrigation practice, environmental management, and the terroir of each ‘place’. Mapping key soils also assists vineyard planning, management and wine making. Knowing more about vineyard soils – and their landscape formation story – also supports marketing of fine wines. For more information about vineyard soil characterisation or key soil mapping, contact James Hall of Juliet Creek Consulting on 0447 400 092 or at [email protected].
Read more >When buying or selling a winery or vineyard, seek expert help.
When selling or buying a vineyard or winery it’s crucial that you engage a solicitor with substantial wine industry experience. This ensures critical issues and details aren’t overlooked – which may not be apparent to clients or solicitors without deep industry knowledge.
Pre-contract advice should also be sought and a due diligence list prepared and satisfied, while contracts inevitably need to be subject to conditions.
Mark Hamilton from Grope Hamilton Lawyers has 30 years experience in wine sector law and his advice would be “cheap at twice the cost” given the significant financial implications of getting the transaction wrong. Call Mark on 0412 842 359 [email protected]

Australia may have experienced one of its wettest years on record, but that hasn’t stopped irrigation experts across the nation lining up to get their hands on Toro’s new Hippo Clamps.
These innovative stainless steel irrigation clamps provide a quick and secure fastening solution for LD poly pipe and drip tube systems.
David Busnello of Agri Australis (a subsidiary of the Ferrero Group) is one of the many professionals who is eager to test his Hippo Clamps out. While it’s only early days on his hazelnut farm, he’s already impressed by the unique locking mechanism.
“The latching device is very intuitive, which is something other clamps lack. The positive lock means we can hear when the clamp is locked into place, and once it’s locked in, it’s locked tight,” says David.
To learn more about Toro’s new Hippo Clamps or request a free sample, visit hippoclamps.com.au or see your local Toro dealer.

For centuries, winemakers have been inspired by purist, romantic traditions of using well-insulated storage sheds as the ‘artisan’ standard for the time-honoured craft. At the same time, a growing number of young and up-and-coming wineries also pay homage to their produce through organic, eco-friendly and carbon-neutral processes. In more recent times those age-old techniques have been challenged, and a growing number of savvy winemakers are now embracing innovative technology to help mature and store the fruits of their labour without compromising on traditional techniques.
