As part of our standard bottling fee, we include any pre-bottling analyses to help in your wine preparation, this might include Filterability, Alcohol %, dissolved Oxygen and dissolved CO2, or we can run a micro-plate to give you an idea of any filtration requirements if necessary. So we encourage you to bring a pre-bottling sample in at least the day before bottling to make full use of this inclusive service.
During a bottling run we regularly monitor how well the bottle closure has been applied, along with dissolved Oxygen and dissolved CO2 which gives us a good picture of how well our filler is performing. We are pleased to say we are very happy with the results so far!
We also do a post bottling check on all bottling runs to ensure the sterile integrity has been maintained throughout the bottling run. This includes running a culture plate to test for any yeast, mould and bacteria.
Feel free to give the lab a call to talk about any requirements you need they will be more than happy to talk you through the process.
Have a look at the other Lab services we can help you with in the Resources section on your login home page. You can collect all sorts of cool information about your wine whether it is in the cellar or about to go into the bottle.
