We take great pride in our world-class wine research, and we also understand it’s a struggle for wineries to find the time and resources for their own trials. That’s why we are bringing wine science to you (in a box)! It's called The Test Case.

Research to go – in a box.

The Test Case is a complete, pre-packaged wine-education kit providing you with easily accessible and understandable research findings. The idea: to educate your whole team on winemaking techniques, and their final effect in the bottle. It’s cost-effective, convenient, and even (a little) fun.

  • Resources to guide your team through the tasting
  • Sensory analysis from our expert panel
  • Tasting mats to record and compare your results
  • Full technical trial reports so you can implement the findings
  • And one great afternoon of wine and learning

The Test Case includes:

Three different research trials investigating the efficacy of antioxidants on Sauvignon Blanc, pH stability in Pinot Noir, and how to manage powdery mildew Pinot Noir in the winery.


Each trial contains four bottles of wine made from the same grapes; 1 x control and 3 x different experimental treatments for comparison.

That’s not all:
