The Advantage

The platform centralizes all vineyard information, including grape plots and machinery. I can add employees with different access rights, allowing them to view tasks or vineyard information without full platform access. This helps link tasks to specific employees and manage their information centrally.

Automatic area and product calculations save time, ensuring optimal dosage and avoiding tank issues. It prevents non-organic products on organic plots. Tasks can be assigned by grape plot with details. All vineyard actions are centrally logged, offering flexibility for basic or detailed logging. Non-mandatory actions, like monitoring and weed control, can be digitized, creating a complete digital logbook accessible from anywhere. Historical data helps plan future actions and find past notes. Crop protection info is accurately recorded, and the spray logbook can be exported to Excel with one click.

The platform offers a clear view of harvest quantities and tracks harvested plots. I can set up selective harvest tasks and track batches accurately. This ensures correct communication and traceability data, giving our cellar manager access to the necessary information.

It tracks the use of crop protection, fertilization, and biostimulant products. I can manage inventory efficiently, knowing product levels and making corrections. Detailed product information, including lot numbers and costs, is maintained. Excel files of vineyard inventory products can be exported if needed.

Craft your Taste has significantly simplified my job and made it more efficient. The digital platform automates many tasks, allowing me to focus more on hands-on work in the vineyard. I can easily find my tasks on the platform, complete with the correct date, location, and detailed information if needed.

The platform is available in multiple languages, allowing us to choose the language we are most comfortable with. Many of my daily questions can now be answered by accessing information about vineyards, grape plots, or products through the platform.

I can keep track of the hours worked per task and know which machine to use for each task if applicable. With a good digital logbook, I can ensure full traceability by documenting every step and complying with quality standards. The streamlined operations mean less paperwork and more time dedicated to nurturing the vines and producing great wine.

The platform centralizes information about our facilities, including vinification and storage areas, tanks, barrels, crates, and machinery. I can add employees with different access rights to register actions and view tasks or batch information.

The platform provides detailed harvest information, including parcels, quantities, and harvest teams. It supports manual and mechanical harvest registration, monitoring harvest parameters and linking them to the batches. Grapes can be held in a cooled or dried state, and different processing methods can be tracked. Multiple cellar batches can be created from one or more harvest batch. The flexible harvest module simplifies the process of bringing grapes or juice into my cellar.

With all actions logged, i allow quick tracing of batch history, this even down to vineyard actions. Important actions like racking, blending, and adding products, as well as shorter actions like pigeage, are registered. This creates a detailed wine recipe, making it easy to compare wines & vintage years and correlate activities. Actions can be performed on individual barrels, tanks, or entire batches. This allows for easy, quick, yet detailed registration of all performed actions.

 It gives the possibility track specific wines from vineyard to bottle. In addition to wine-level traceability, you can also track individual barrels, including their cleaning, stored wines, and usage.

The digital tool tracks vinification products (additives and auxiliaries) by lot number, recording purchases, usage, and the wines they were used in. This helps recall specific wine batches if there are issues. The smart inventory system adjusts stock levels based on usage and allows corrections to match digital and physical quantities. We can track levels of various consumables used during vinification, from bottles and labels to vinification products.

As a wine consultant (oenologist) at different wineries, I have the privilege of using Craft your Taste, the newest winemaking technology that has significantly enhanced my ability to advise and support wineries. This advanced platform digitizes many of the complex processes involved in winemaking, allowing me to focus on providing expert guidance from anywhere in the world.

The platform serves as a central location for all information about the wine batches, ensuring full traceability and meticulous documentation. This means I can clearly follow the processes and actions, which is incredibly time-saving. Additionally, I can directly enter lab analyses into the platform, specifically for each analyzed batch, ensuring accurate and efficient data processing.

One of the key advantages is the integration of European regulations regarding additives and substances. As a result, all mandatory information is automatically included on the label, ensuring compliance and peace of mind. The traceability from A to Z is excellent, allowing me to precisely track what has happened with each wine batch and meet the highest quality standards.

The system provides assurance of good documentation and follows the logical flow as in the winery itself. This makes it easy to enter data and consult these entries later.
