February 2022: Update from Bordeaux

Fred Phillips and the team are currently in Bordeaux commissioning 4 new Heat Ranger machines. Three of these are at Chateau Angludet, who make smoooooth well rounded reds (we have tested a number of fine vintages to confirm) and one machine at Chateau Giscours (in Labard).

Chateau Angludet (in Cantenac) have generously allowed us to show case the machines running on Wednesday the 23rd February at 2 pm local time, which is a more sociable time than at 2:00 a.m. during frost season, to see the machines in action, ask questions and understand the science.

Francios Cornette of Earl L’Ariac can be seen here enjoying the heat from his machine – we have similarly sampled his fine aperitifs and the spirits he makes for Remy Martin Cognac – SUPERB!

January 2022: Heat Ranger in Bordeaux

Heat Ranger is excited to support Bordeaux Vineyards by installing four Heat Ranger machines at Chateaux Angludet and Chateaux Giscours.

Despite New Zealand’s COVID-19 lock downs and shipping disruptions the four Heat Ranger machines are being delivered to Bordeaux prior to the 2022 frost season.
