Isolated, studied and selected from the prestigious Côte de Nuits terroir in Burgundy during a three-year research project by Laboratory Burgundia Oenologie in Beaune, France. The goal of this selection program was to find a dominant natural yeast strain from a traditional “cold soak” that would elaborate intense, complex and balanced Pinot Noir varietal character. The 3001 strain stood out from other strains. Wines made with it were noted for fruit and varietal characters that were both elegant and complex. This yeast has moderate nitrogen demands but will benefit from proper nutrition and aeration, these factors becoming increasingly important as your potential alcohol content rises above 13%. This strain is tolerant to standard SO2 additions and low temperatures (down to 12°C/54°F) for a steady and reliable alcoholic fermentation following cold soak. The 3001 yeast is specifically for high quality cold soak Pinot Noir destined for aging. Download the PDF Download the PDF
Although it is listed as one of the original six red grapes of Bordeaux, Carménère is all but impossible to find in France today. After a phylloxera plague in the mid-19th century, the vines were nearly all destroyed in Europe and presumed extinct. But the grape lived on, unbeknownst to anyone, in the grape growing regions of Chile where some speculate it was mistaken for Merlot and thus unwittingly preserved over the last 150 years. Indeed the two grapes share a common ancestor and are strikingly similar in appearance. Commonly used as a blending grape, but as a varietal wine Carménère is known for its deep red color, gentle tannins, and fruit-forward character with earthy notes. Growing Carménère is all but unheard of in Bordeaux today, but the grape has thrived in the vineyards of Chile where it has become the country’s leading red grape. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, dry red with aromas and flavors of red fruit and berries, plum, and floral notes. Our Chile Carménère follows the classic description, characterized by flavors of raspberry, red cherry, and plum. Medium-bodied and dry with a moderate oak presence. This red wine weighs in at the higher end of the spectrum with an alcohol level of 13.5% by volume. This Carmenere wine kit includes medium toast French oak chips. Medium toast French oak is subtle and provides refined flavors of custard, chocolate, and spice. French oak in general is often used by winemakers when they want to increase the mouthfeel and complexity of a wine without stepping on or suppressing the fruit. The VineCo Estate Carménère is the perfect wine for those that enjoy the spice of life. Or maybe more specifically, those that enjoy spice in their meals. Carménère pairs wonderfully with dishes that have a kick. Lamb curry, spicy pork sausage, Chile con Carne—these mouth watering foods are great options to enjoy with a glass of this delicious red wine. Carménère shouldn’t only be poured alongside hot dishes, but if you’re looking for something to pair with a meal that raises your heart rate, you’ve found it here.

A notable strain for its ability to enhance Sauvignon Blanc varietal characteristics while maintaining good fermentation kinetics. Wines fermented with SVG are described as having more intensity and a balance of mineral, citrus and spicy notes. Alcohol tolerant to 15%, this strain has moderate nutrient requirements and a fermentation temperature range of 61-79°F. This is a great choice for enhancing natural varietal characteristics in Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and other dry whites. An interesting strain for its ability to metabolize roughly 25% of the malic acid in a wine, naturally helping to lower a wine's acidity Download the PDF Download the PDF
Of the six noble grapes, Riesling is the lone variety to be of German origin rather than French. Originally from the Rheingau region of Germany, where it is still the most widely cultivated grape today, Riesling is known for its outstanding aromatics and is commonly regarded by wine experts as the finest white grape variety in the world. Mercurial in nature, Riesling is highly “terroir-expressive” and begs to be planted in cooler climates; but even small climatic variances in a characteristically cool growing region can lead to markedly different results in the finished wine. Often noted for having a high acidity and palpable mineral character, Riesling is adored for its floral aroma and mouthwatering orchard flavors of apricot and peach, as well as many other ripe fruit notes that vary depending on the region. To this day, Germany continues to boast the highest production of Riesling in the world, despite the fact that the vines have made their way to countries with far more tremendous growing capacity in terms of sheer acreage. By example, California’s vast collection of vineyards dedicate less than 4,000 acres to Riesling, with nearly half of the total being grown in Monterey. Californian Riesling tends to be softer, with less mineral quality and somewhat more subdued fruit flavors. Our California Riesling sports a light-medium body and leaps out of the glass with notes of apricot and mango, followed by a delightful acidity. This dry white wine has no oak character and an easy-drinking alcohol level of 12.5%. The VineCo Estate Riesling is one of those wines that seems to effortlessly improve the vibe wherever and whenever it is enjoyed. A bright and cheerful wine that is outgoing to a fault. Regardless of your current mood, once the aromas start popping out of the glass and the acidity starts tickling your tongue, it’ll be hard to hold back a smile. Try it alongside prawns and fresh crab or cuts of pork belly with choucroute.

Enhances fruit and chocolate-like aromas in red wines
Helps stabilize color
Our selected blend of SIY's, Ellagic Tannins, and a touch of Gum Arabic
Added at the end of fermentation or the beginning of aging
Red Wonder was developed to add fruit and chocolate flavor to red wine. It brings the body and richness of sur lie aging with the amazing impact of ellagic finishing tannins. The ellagic tannins in this blend were selected for their ability to impart chocolate flavors into the wine.
Red Wonder is a blend of specially inactivated yeast (SIY), elected ellagic tannins, and a little bit of LiquiBody Gum Arabic. In addition to body and flavor this product helps reduce the need for SO2 and also helps to lock in color.
You certainly could select an SIY, like our CellarScience Easy Sur Lie and then trial them with different ellagic tannins along with LiquiBody. But we've worked in small wineries and we know you are busy, so we've done that trialing for you and selected the blend that most often turned out really exceptional red wines.
Directions:
Use at the rate of 0.4 to 1.5 g per gallon of wine. Rehydrate in warm water or wine for 30 minutes and then stir directly into the tank or barrel. Once fully mixed it doesn't need any further stirring. We recommend starting with dosage of 1 g per gal (0.25 g per liter) and adjusting on further batches as needed.
Merlot is extraordinary in its flexibility, able to be paired with many different grapes to create magnificent blends, but easily stands on its own in varietal wines. Sometimes mistaken for Cabernet Sauvignon in blind tastings, the two grapes are both descendents of Cabernet Franc and can display similar flavors and textures, although Merlot is known for being softer and less tannic. Aromas and flavors include blackberry, cassis, baked cherries, dark chocolate and mocha, among others. Merlot ranks as the second most-widely grown grape in the world, but reigns supreme in the Médoc district of Bordeaux. California-grown Merlot grapes produce what is known as “Warm-Climate Merlot”, which is the category that Merlot grown in Australia and Argentina also fall under. These grapes tend to be heavier on the fruit notes. Due to the lower tannin levels and softer finish, some vintners employ a longer oak-aging process to give the wine more structure. Our California Merlot is a full-bodied red characterized with flavors of chocolate, black cherry and tobacco. With an alcohol content of 13%, this wine has a dry chocolate finish with a medium oak character. Includes medium toast American oak chips. Medium toast oak is the most popular toast level used in red wines as it imparts a complex balance of vanillin and spice. American oak is famous for providing classic oak aromas. The VineCo Estate Merlot is not to be sequestered to the dinner table. This is a wine you want to pack up and take with you on a picnic. Enjoy with the sun overhead, a light breeze at your back, and a charcuterie board within arm’s reach.

Replacement Blade for Speidel Motorized Apple & Pear Crusher (WE208) Please note: this is a single blade. Please update your order quantity to the number of replacement blades you require.
The Temperature Tamer hangs from the side of a bin or tank and has a built-in temperature controller that monitors the temperature and controls a solenoid valve, allowing coolant or heated water to enter a snake, plate or jacket to maintain your ideal temperature. Theoretically you could be maintaining the temperature of a red wine ferment at 77F in one tank while you cold stabilized a white wine at 30F in the next.
The built-in Ranco controller allows for heating or cooling, has a temperature range of -30 to 220F, and will maintain the temperature in a ferment or tank within one degree of your set point. The controller opens and closes the built in electronic solenoid valve to start or stop the flow of coolant.
The included thermal sensor can be placed into a thermowell mounted onto a tank or a floating thermowell used with a Macrobin. The unit comes equipped with 1/2" barb outlets for the glycol system, however you can remove those and attach anything you'd like to the 1/2" FPT behind them. We generally like to use Quick Disconnects in these systems, please contact us if you need assistance setting this up properly.
An example set-up for cooling macro bins: Using one of our glycol systems run an outgoing and incoming loop of 1/2" line that is always recirculating cold glycol. Wherever you have a bin that needs cooling, tee your Temperature Tamer input into the line coming from your chiller, connect a hose from the Tamer's outlet to the inlet side of your cooling plate, and tee a hose from the cooling plate's outlet into the return line going back to the chiller.
Use this gasket set to rebuild a leaky variable volume lid pump rather than replacing the whole pump assembly. 2 gaskets are included to replace the pump's valve stem seals.

Provides rapid and permanent tartrate stabilization against potassium bitartrate (KHT) crystal formation, eliminating the need for chilling or extended settling times
Preserves wine quality with a formulation that has no sensory impact on aroma, color, flavor, or mouthfeel, and is compatible with standard winemaking practices like filtration
Offers a sustainable and convenient solution that is vegan, allergen-free, requires no refrigeration, and is compliant with international regulations (OIV approved)
Ensures long-lasting stability due to the hydrolysis-resistant nature of potassium polyaspartate (KPA), maintaining its effectiveness throughout wine aging and under varying temperatures
Enartis Zenith Uno is a cutting-edge solution for tartaric stabilization in white, rosé, and sparkling wines. Formulated with potassium polyaspartate (KPA), this next-generation additive provides fast, reliable, and permanent stabilization against potassium bitartrate (KHT) crystal formation—without the need for refrigeration or extended settling times.
How It Works:
Zenith Uno’s active ingredient, potassium polyaspartate, is a polypeptide derived from aspartic acid. This polymer inhibits crystal nucleation and growth by binding to nascent KHT microcrystals, effectively preventing them from aggregating and forming visible tartrate deposits. Unlike traditional methods such as cold stabilization or metatartaric acid, KPA is resistant to hydrolysis, meaning its stabilizing effect is long-lasting and unaffected by wine aging or elevated storage temperatures.
Scientific Highlights:
KPA molecules act as a crystal growth inhibitor by interfering with the surface structure of KHT nuclei.
Demonstrated stability in wine over time, even under variable temperature conditions.
No sensory impact: Multiple trials confirm that KPA has no effect on aroma, color, flavor, or mouthfeel.
Compatible with protein and color stability tools such as bentonite and PVPP.
Does not interfere with crossflow filtration or other standard winemaking operations.
Key Benefits:
Permanent tartrate stabilization
No need for chilling, aging, or post-treatment filtration
Preserves wine’s freshness and sensory profile
Vegan and allergen-free
Approved by OIV (OENO 543-2016) and compliant with global regulations
With Enartis Zenith Uno, winemakers can achieve brilliant clarity, stability, and peace of mind—all in a single, easy step. Efficiency has never tasted so good.
Do Protein Stabilization First
Use KWK Klear bentonite or, for very high-quality wines, Claril ZW to achieve protein stability before using Zenith Uno for tartrate stability.

Pectinase blend that breaks down cellulose and hemicellulose
Enzo Red contains a selection of enzymes designed to promote deep, lasting color, structure, and aroma in fine red wines. Enzo Red is a blend of pectinases that will degrade both cellulase and hemicellulase, releasing anthocyanins and desirable skin tannins. It also releases aromatic compounds along with polysaccharides to help contribute to the aroma and body of your red wine.
By breaking down pectins, Enzo Red helps with faster clarification and easier downstream filtering.
Enzo Red can help to reduce the amount of punch downs or pump overs required. While there is no harm to keeping your existing schedule, it reduces the need for extended skin contact time, helps with extraction when an ideal punch-down schedule can't be maintained, and lessens the amount of time spent in pump over. For pump over in particular, this can be an advantage by lessening the shearing action on seeds that can occur when pumping must.
Enzo Red is obtained from aspergillus niger and does not contain the enzymes cinnamyl esterase (production of barnyard flavors) or anthocyanase which is known to produce oxidized color hues in wine.
Use:
Dilute 0.04 to 0.15 g per gal (0.01 to 0.04 g per liter) into water and add directly into the crushed grapes or must. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 0.1 g per gal (0.025 g per liter) and adjust as desired on future batches.
When the winemaker from Vineco says this is her favorite wine we listened. We made the wine, featured in the video below, and we can attest that this is really great choice. Cabernet and Merlot is quite possibly the premier wine blend, pairing two of the most widely-grown grape varieties in the world. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on their own are the foundation of countless remarkable wines produced in Bordeaux, France. Now staples in other major wine growing countries such as Italy, Chile, and the US, these grapes have also become rooted in such far-flung countries as South Africa, New Zealand, Israel, and on and on. The “Bordeaux Blend” combines the tannic, more acidic structure of Cabernet Sauvignon with the juicier, fruit-forward contribution from Merlot for a result that is greater than the sum of its parts. Our Californian Cabernet Merlot blend summons classic flavors of black currants and plums, accentuated by chocolate, spice, toasted notes, and medium oak character. A full-bodied blend with a sturdy alcohol content of 13.5% and decidedly dry finish. The Cab/Merlot blend includes medium toast American oak chips. Medium toast oak is the most popular toast level used in red wines as it imparts a complex balance of vanillin and spice. American oak is famous for providing classic oak aromas. The Vinceo Estate Cabernet Merlot pairs well with any evening occasion, and should be one of your go-to bottles for an important dinner or classy date night. Even though this blend can add a touch of refinement when served along a perfectly seared lamb chop, don’t be afraid to pour a tall glass while cozied up for a night of takeout pizza and show bingeing.

The HI84500-55 is a 120 mL bottle of pump calibration standard that is used to calibrate the dosing system of the HI84500 Sulfur Dioxide Mini Titrator for Wine Analysis. A calibrated dosing pump allows for the accurate determination of the amount of titrant used when performing a titration. The amount of volume dosed along with the concentration of the titrant is used by the pre-programmed formula within the HI84500 in determining the exact concentration of sulfur dioxide. The pump calibration procedure should be performed anytime the titrant or ORP electrode is replaced.
Standardized solution
Clearly marked expiration date and lot number
Air tight bottle with tamper-proof seal to ensure quality
Analysis of sulfur dioxide in wine, as performed on the HI84500 mini titrator, utilizes a simple sample preparation, a high quality titrant dosing pump, potentiometric endpoint detector, and automatic computations. To maintain the high precision of the titrator, a simple pump calibration procedure is performed with HI84500-55 pump calibration solution. The pump calibration procedure involves the analysis of a known volume of a known solution. The pump calibration procedure should be performed anytime the titrant, syringe, tubing or ORP electrode is replaced. Periodic calibrations should be performed in order to accurately determine the free and total
sulfur dioxide levels in wine.
The HI84500 determines the free and total sulfur dioxide concentration in wine using the Ripper method. Excess iodide is added to the wine sample and reacts with the iodate titrant to produce iodine:
IO3- + 5I- + 6H+ → 3I2 + 3H2O
The iodine produced reacts with sulfur dioxide in the wine according to the redox reaction below:
H2SO3 + I2 → H2SO4 + 2HI
Replacement reagents required to operate the HI84500 include:
Low Range - 1.0 to 40.0 ppm SO2
High Range - 30 to 400 ppm SO2
