Winery

 

Temple Bruer's winery was built in 1979, just intime for the 1980 Vintage. Over the following eight years, they gradually expanded the facility. In 1990, a second shed was added, effectively doubling the winery's size. Over the subsequent five years, 7-8 tonne fermenters were installed, steadily increasing capacity to 200 tonnes.

 

A significant milestone was reached in 2000 with a major expansion, featuring the addition of three 25-tonne fermenters and 180,000 liters of storage tanks. This upgrade catapulted capacity to 500 tonnes. An airbag press was also acquired for the 2000 vintage, replacing the previous use of two stainless steel basket presses.

As growth continued more fermenters and tanks were incorporated, culminating in a crushing capacity of 600 tonnes.
