A Toast to Innovation:
The Vision Behind Weilong Winery
ICON #39
In the picturesque landscape of Northern Victoria, amidst Australia's bustling wine region, a new chapter in winemaking is unfolding. This state-of-the-art winery, commissioned by Weilong Wines, aims to produce 21 million litres of wine annually, catering to the flourishing demand in the market. To achieve this monumental task, the company has invested in innovative materials and sustainable practices, ensuring that the winery not only meets production goals but also meets the increasing customer demand for wine production with lower carbon footprint.
This impressive facility, a significant development in the Australian wine landscape, is more than just a production plant; it represents a strategic investment in quality and a commitment to meeting the demands of the market. Capable of processing over 26,000 tonnes of grapes each year, the winery relies on 180 stainless steel tanks—including fermentation and storage vessels—crafted by A&G Engineering using stainless steel. The properties of this material, such as high recyclability rate, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning made it the perfect choice for this ambitious project.
