An emerging issue in Australian wine is whether or not we have the processing capacity to deal with the extent of recent plantings. Haselgrove Wines is clearly prepared to meet the capital challenge. Its parent company, Australian Premium Wines, has recently announced plans to invest $6 million in a new winery at McLaren Vale initially designed to handle 3,000 tonnes, but to be expanded to 6,000 tonnes capacity in three to four years. The next millionaires created by Australian wine will surely be the distributors of stainless steel tanks!
