Can you work around vintage and bottling?

Yes. We schedule around vintage, bottling runs and event weekends, and treat production zones in blocks so barrel work and tastings are not interrupted. Peak-season work is planned with your winemaker and venue manager together.

How do you handle rodents in a barrel hall?

With a perimeter and internal station network placed away from barrels and tasting areas, monitored on a set cycle and mapped so activity is visible. Sealing wall penetrations and keeping dry goods and spillage contained matters as much as the stationing itself.

Do you treat wasps around the vineyard and buildings?

Yes. We treat nests on eaves, verandahs and buildings, and advise on edge-of-vineyard and crush pad areas that attract wasps, which is especially relevant when cellar door guests are outdoors during harvest.
