I want to develop my business while respecting the collective brand
I produce wine in a large area of geographical indication. I have production restrictions though wish to stay in tune with the market, while remaining in the context of the collective brand and respecting the specifications of the geographical indication.
Vivelys will operate for you within the “field of feasibility”.
It will optimise your production methods in both the vineyard and the cellar.
In the Vineyard
Using a highly pragmatic approach, Vivelys will resolve the following questions:
Hundreds of production lots (often of less than one hectare) are cultivated appropriately and harvested at the optimum date according to your product definition.
Vivelys establishes a clear and indicative remuneration table for the producer so that his financial interests converges with the final product objective.
It organises a real logistic base which in no way hampers technical imperatives.
In the cellar it organises grapes into groups for the oenological service according to clear reference criteria.
Note : Vivelys is the first enterprise to have created a grape reference that is easily interpretable by oenologists and which thus could be easily incorporated into a precise and optimised fermentation scheme.
In Oenology
We help you create a fermentation solution - not based on the latest fashion (which unfortunately one sees all too often) but on a real and current need, while maintaining sufficient flexibility in anticipation of the future evolution of your product definition. In addition, Vivelys can provide concrete and objective answers to your questions, for example:
How can I give value to my know-how and track errors in my production process?
How can I be sure that my production facility is 100% optimised?
Could certain minimum investments open new doors for me?
Conversely, is a certain a large investment really indispensable for my company?
How can I be sure to avoid a getting into a situation of over-investment?
I live in the region of my grape varieties’ geographical indication and I would like my wines to express a real identifiable, character that is equally recognisable by a New York housewife or a passing tourist. What are the measures, the human resources, the know-how and the enterprise organisational solutions that will enable me to realise that objective while at the same time observing the legal restrictions and respecting the requirements of my grape harvest?
My enterprise is free to create its own product
I live in a region or a country aligned to the OIV regulations; the grape varieties and production conditions are not restricted. I am prepared to question my current level of knowledge because I sense that if I know how to create wines of different profiles, I will be in a better position to react and respond to market changes.
I know that oenological tools would extremely useful in helping the development of my enterprise. I am more than aware of current international wine styles: they are my day-to-day competitors. The united global vision of Vivelys allows to operate within a ‘feasible framework’, in other words, the product definition ‘matches’ particular market segments while retaining as much of its originality as possible.
In the vineyard
You sense that its time for action, to stop lowering yields, quite the reverse: to increase them; to optimise, or even to completely revolutionise your production system. Your grapes are becoming as elaborate as possible and even more traceable. Thanks to the algorithms and the equipment supplied by Vivelys, each trailer-load has its own identity card (Harvesting date schemes A/B/C). Vinifying international grape varieties is necessary, but diversifying by employing local varieties is an excellent complementary approach, provided that they are properly managed. The Vivelys bundle of solutions will help you with this management and enable you to correct any ‘minor system defects’. Other Vivelys measures and methods will help you to finally explore and exploit the full potential of all your grape varieties. Furthermore, you control two key elements in your vineyard: water and temperature management.
Is it possible to re-create a specific model of your vineyard ?
If we listen to all the schools of thought on viticulture throughout the world, the theories propounded are often contradictory. Dogmas and realities are often presented hand-in-hand. These theories are frequently the result of local experiments with correspondingly vague product definitions.
Being exactly like the others or very different of them if I decide to
We often hear the following phrase: “Recreating a specific model in my vineyard using my own grapes in order to attain my product‘s definition is just an old dream”.
Yet by mastering your models and diversifying them by using your experience you will secure your future and valorize your competences. This is what is able to accomplish the Vivelys intelligent information base.
Like everybody else, you dispose of an information system which insures the product’s traceability. But this information is not technically put forward as it should. It would be enough to have an intelligent processing tool for this type of information and it would be able to produce knowledge. Once again, the Vivelys intelligence base is helping you a great deal in this area.
An intelligence base that is not really artificial
Vivelys has therefore developed an artificial intelligence base founded on fuzzy logic which is founded on the know-how of our experts and which only need to be enriched with your own acquired expertise.
In oenology
Simple vinification and ageing harness the quality of a harvest which is in perfect condition and is easily extractible. On the other hand, modern tools should be capable of correcting grapes that are in some way lacking in balance. This vision of corrective oenology is aimed at oenologists who are more at ease with the concept of the model than with its formula. It involves the most effective and profitable oenological practice; ensuring that every square cm of the process is perfectly controlled. Oenodev and Sferis then Vivelys have, since their foundation, developed techniques where the irrational and the random are totally excluded. All present measures and those planned for the future involve sensors which aid in the decision-making process that is part of your need to control the final product choice.
The Vivelys solution was created in France but is already operating on an international scale. This has enabled the company to meet all challenges, be they of a technical or marketing nature.
Whether your ambitions are modest or ambitious, there is no doubt but that you will succeed.
