It is important to have a strategic partner. What we have in the California wine industry is a quality movement based on traditional methods imported from Europe. In Napa Valley we have the example of the benefits of adopting traditional recipies. Enologix is an essential part of the infrastructure of Napa companies. We know how to scale fine winemaking, we make wine everyday.—Leo McCloskey, Enologix President
Knowing And Making Wines Around The World
Winemakers' goals change around the world based on what drives a regions profits. Australians make the world's high-value consumer wines. Down-under low cost is more important than any other single factor. The French wine farmers are making the benchmarks by which we all judge luxury wines. In the Haut-Medoc, where we have worked, the goal is to increase quality to an A.O.C. classification to protect high prices.
California winemakers make both consumer and luxury wines. Enologix is California's partner building luxury brands with a trailing average in high quality, price and volume. How do we do it? We have analysis, technology and winemaking secrets. We know California wines and winemaking better than any other company or institution. Moreover we have solved winemakers’ problems from Washington’s Columbia River Basin to California’s Santa Ynez Valley. When you become an Enologix client we will tell you what we know about your wine and California winemaking.
Start With Your Bottled Wines.
Our strategy is to increase quality by changing traditional winemaking operations as they occur using information technology. We call it the Quality Management System--QMS™. At the center of our QMS is a report we call WineFAX. It is the standard for fine winemakers. It can do the impossible, help you to predict quality in the fermenter in terms of market performance. All you have to do is give us your grapes or wines. We do the rest. Analyzing your wines' color, flavor or fragrance to determine style, quality and aging potential. We show you how your quality is driving your performance.
Now you are ready to make wine. We will analyze your wines throughout blending, bottling and aging to help you leave the recipes behind in pursuit of the highest quality.
Our Consultants and Agents..
Once you have Enologix you have to have an InfoGuru who knows the methods of the French wine-farm. That is an authorized Enologix viticulurist or winemaker. Enologix has both in-house and independent winemakers or viticulturists. Unlike any others, our agents are wine InfoGurus, paid for what they know about trends among over 40,000 samples in the world’s major winegrowing regions, or for applying what Enologix knows about winemaking to specific wines. People “pick our brains” and “get inside our heads" to learn how they can improve their wines.
Illustrating our knowledge.
In Bordeaux the winemakers mission is to make a wine that protects the reputation. In one example a First Growth Bordeaux Chateaux assayed wines with Enologix, shipping samples to us during the vintage. The agent on assignment had seen all of the information for First through Fifth Growths for the period of 1979 to date. During the harvest Enologix agent was able to say with certainty, “1991 is a poor year, stylistically similar to 1985 or 1987. And Chateaux X should beware of bottling too much wine.” Alerted, the Chateau lowered its expectation by Christmas, and made a tighter selection, discarding lots with low quality. That same consultant then worked with a flagship Cabernet Sauvignon producer in the Napa Valley to find Bordeaux benchmarks by which to judge Napa Valley fermentations.
Through consulting and beyond, we can assist you in determining the optimum price for your wine in the current marketplace. And through analysis, advise you as to which wines you should submit to which critics to maximize your chances for that 90 point score.
