Challenges:
Along with cutting edge technology and new design ideas, comes innovation on the job.
A very short construction period of under 11 months to have this significant winery operational meant working the alternative construction sequencing to achieve the result.
Success:
The winery was operational within 9 months in time for vintage, and then finishing off the last 2 months after vintage. It was fully operational in under 11 months from start to finish, including tanks, plant and the like.
