Custom Crush & Winery Services
We help wineries and brands scale with efficiency
Grape to bottle, in one facility, on the estate that grows the fruit. Custom crush, custom winemaking, wine grapes, and bulk wine — for boutique start-ups through to large producers.
What is custom crush at Reddy Vineyards?
Custom crush means we make your wine at our High Plains winery — from fruit through fermentation, ageing, bottling and TTB compliance. Programmes run from juicing alone to 23 months of élevage, and because we grow more than forty varietals on the same property, your fruit can reach the press without a truck ride.
01 — Why Crush Here
The fruit is already
on the property.
We have grown grapes here since 1997 and farm more than forty varietal types. If your fruit is ours, it goes from vine to press without a truck ride — which saves you freight and, more importantly, saves the fruit.
Winemaking starts the moment the harvest arrives. No queue, no waiting for a pad to free up somewhere else in the state.
