“We hope that we can help wineries find the best solutions for them and their wines”.
“Besides the logistic side of it, I offer support to the wineries when it comes to finding what can work well with their wines and why. I promote trials with new products, gathering useful data to find out what works best for the customer in a given context or to suggest possible solutions to reach the desired goal.”

“My previous role was 100% focused on micro-vinifications and science. Small-scale winemaking and experiments are useful tools that I still use in my new role to prove the efficacy of a product for example, or to promote commercial trials,” Irene says.
Irene says she can also help wineries become more sustainable. “To give an example, we can help wine companies reduce power, water consumption and CO2 emissions by avoiding cold stabilization and using potassium poly aspartate instead.”
“The scientific approach always comes in handy to troubleshoot a problem and target the best possible solutions. My previous role also helped me understand better the winemaking trends, challenges, and interests.
