Harvest & Crush

Say goodbye to your days of picking up and shaking carboys.   Use the Lees Stirrer to quickly and easily degas wine, stir your lees back into suspension, or mix in additives. Attaches to a drill for fast, easy stirring. The blades fold down so you can easily insert it into a barrel or glass carboy. When you turn the drill on, the blades expand to create a powerful stirring action. We do not recommend using in a carboy that is topped full. (The stirrer displaces too much liquid and creates a vortex that will send wine out of the top.) In these cases a hollow racking cane works exceptionally well.    Works with 3/8" or larger drills. Stirrer is around 22" long.

Wine Cap Puncher - This is an ideal puncher for smaller volume winemaking. Perfect for 20 gallon fermenters. Our design features a sealed connection where juice cannot travel back up into the handle. We have seen similar models but always passed on selling them because the design had an opening where the 4 metal wires went back into the hollow handle. When juice inevitably did get back up into that space, the punch was done, you could never clean it. Height is 24". Base is 5 3/16" diameter

After using the Italian crusher/destemmer units for many years ourselves, we designed and manufactured a special accessory stand that is just tall enough to allow grapes to drop directly into your fermenter or transfer container. Many customers opt to use our 32 Gallon food-grade containers (which we sell as WE509). A regular garbage can can be placed at the end of the unit to collect stems. By using the stand you eliminate the need to move the must and stems from container-to-container, thus saving time and energy. This model fits our WE220 and WE223 series of EnoItalia Crusher/Destemmers. Does not fit models from other manufacturers. Please Note: This stand comes broken down, and will require assembly. Estimated Overall dimensions: Footprint: 32 1/4" long x 22" wide Height: 40" high. Top Tray Inside dimensions 32" long x 14" wide

The holes in the basket are deep punched through thicker stainless steel, from the inside out, and then bead blasted to remove any sharp edges. The destemming bar features fingers with adjustable rubber tips to ensure a gentle touch on your grapes.
