We asked Rick Collis, Production Manager of Barossa Enterprises what winter means to him and the business?
Winter signifies the end of the vintage season, and from a business perspective, it is a pivotal turning point for the wine industry that supports much of our operations.
Wineries now focus on bottling and packaging, preparing their product for distribution and sale.
This means our production becomes busy as we work to support them in preparing their final product for the domestic and export markets.
This activity continues through to the end of the year, making it one of the busiest periods for us. Packaging becomes a high priority for our customers, and we mobilise every resource to meet the high demand.
At the same time, winter also signals the conclusion of the apple season. Earlier in the year, we saw a demand for apple bins to support harvesting and storage in the fruit-growing sector.
However, as apple growers complete their harvest and seasonal operations end, things quieten down in this area.
