Wine testing 

As an oenology laboratory with ISO 17025-accreditation from the National Association of Testing Authorities, we take great pride in the accuracy and efficiency of our work. But Vintessential Laboratories does more than just churn out results. We offer a complete service:

• Recommending the most appropriate testing for your samples.
• Analysing them.
• Helping you interpret our findings.
• Recommending products to correct any failings. 

Our aim is to provide you with assistance and information you can use, quickly and accurately, so you can make more informed decisions and, ultimately, better wine.

We conduct the following tests: 

 

Wine analysis

A thorough range of tests for wine (plus beer and spirits), including:

• Routine chemical analysis.
• Microbiological testing.
• Haze and sediment identification.
• Trace metal analysis.

Many of our staff have winemaking experience and can assist you with test selection and troubleshooting advice. Click here for details.

 

Water analysis

We now also offer testing in many parameters of water quality. To make your selection easier, we have grouped these analyses into three applications:

• Drinking water.
• Irrigation water.
• Effluent water.

After running our tests, we can then guide you on whether the results are acceptable for the water’s intended application. Click here for details.

 

Other analysis

We can also test soil, plant and olive oil samples for a range of parameters. Click here for details.

 

Turnaround

We know you need fast answers to aid your critical decisions.

• Most routine tests are completed the day after we receive your sample.
• More complex tests, may take two to three working days. 

 

Express service 

• This guarantees your results are produced on the same day we receive your sample.
• Naturally, a surcharge applies. 

 

How to send samples 

• Please ensure samples are packed securely, especially when using glass containers.
• Send samples to the Reply Paid address of the Vintessential Laboratory
• If mailing more than one parcel, please tape them together. This helps us reduce the costs we incur, so we can keep our prices down. You may incur postal costs if you send packages separately. 

 

EasyTest sample system

Vintessential has created an EasyTest kit that makes sending samples a whole lot easier by including everything you need to deliver us exactly what we need:

• Sample bottles.
• Adhesive labels.
• Reply Paid stickers so you can mail your samples to us free of charge. 

Contact us and we will send a free kit out to you. Alternatively, you can download our test selection labels here.
