Purpose Built and Smart Winery Design
Designed and developed to ensure the creation of the world’s best Sauvignon Blanc
Creating the best Sauvignon Blanc that the world has come to love
VinLink specialises in crafting New Zealand’s signature Sauvignon Blanc grape into wine, ensuring a fast transition from harvest to fermentation. Advanced equipment, refrigeration, and crossflow filtration preserve its vibrant flavours, creating the best in class.
Our purpose-built facility combines innovation & sustainability
VinLink was created with a clear focus—bringing out the very best in New Zealand’s signature grape, Sauvignon Blanc. From the moment the grapes are harvested, we work quickly and carefully to preserve their fresh, vibrant flavors. Our process moves seamlessly from picking to pressing and clarifying, ensuring the grapes retain their unique character during fermentation.
With state-of-the-art equipment and precise temperature control, we maintain these flavors throughout fermentation.
Afterward, our careful post-fermentation process locks in these qualities while preparing the wine for bottling. Using crossflow filtration, we protect the purity of the wine, ensuring it reaches the bottle exactly as intended.
What truly sets VinLink apart is our underground wine line, which directly connects our facility to New Zealand’s premier bottling company. This streamlined approach minimizes handling, keeping the wine as fresh and authentic as possible for consumers.
By refining and perfecting every step, we not only enhance wine quality but also achieve the best possible balance of excellence and efficiency.
Highly efficient footprint
Our streamlined cellar layout is designed to eliminate wasted space and unnecessary steps, allowing our team to work efficiently with minimal effort. This thoughtful design ensures that every stage of the winemaking process— from grape to bottle— is swift, seamless, and precise.
Refrigeration and cooling capacity
Our ample in-house refrigeration capacity removes the need for extra equipment during peak demand. By integrating heat recovery with heating and cooling cycles, we maximize efficiency, achieving one of the highest coefficients of performance (COP) in the industry while reducing energy waste.
Other interesting facts
Our industry-leading sustainable electricity and water usage per liter of wine benefit the environment and enhances efficiency, enabling us to pass on savings to customers while maintaining our commitment to eco-friendly practices and staying ahead in operational sustainability.
