Nene Valley Winery

Core designed a custom solution to meet their unique requirements. The winery was equipped to accommodate 35 Letina tanks, each featuring the latest technology, including:

• Compartment Tanks – These multi-chamber tanks are becoming increasingly popular in UK wineries. Manufactured by Letina INOX and distributed exclusively by Core Equipment, they offer winemakers the flexibility to store different juice varieties within a single tank. As harvest yields vary year by year, the compartments help preserve juice quality without compromising on storage space. With up to three or more compartments per tank, they maximise floor space by reducing the need for additional tanks.
• Enhanced Temperature Control – Maintaining consistent temperature is crucial for quality winemaking. Compartment tanks are equipped with advanced temperature control jackets that promote even heat distribution through natural convection. As the heat rises from the bottom of the tank, it self-mixes with the cooler liquid, ensuring uniform temperature throughout the entire process without the need for mechanical mixing.
• Fermentation Control – Regulating fermentation temperatures is essential for producing high-quality wine. The winery’s tanks are equipped with a cutting-edge temperature control system, discreetly managed by stainless-steel piping, pressure regulation, and both individual and centralised tank temperature monitoring. This system allows the winery to maintain low temperatures or control fermentation efficiently, with the option for remote access to monitor tank temperatures from anywhere.

This custom-built solution, featuring advanced technology from the Bucher Origin press through the Letina tanks to the LiquoSystems control system, has raised the bar for UK wineries, ensuring stability and precision throughout the winemaking process and helping Nene Valley Winery produce truly exceptional wines.
