At Hauser, we value every opportunity to connect with our customers. These visits help us better understand their businesses—especially when it comes to the art and science of winemaking.
Last week, Samantha Dobra, Account Manager at Hauser, traveled to Michigan. She met with both current and prospective customers, strengthening relationships and expanding our presence in the region.
A Special Visit to Mawby
One of the highlights of Samantha’s trip was a visit to Mawby, a respected winery known for its sparkling wines. She met with two of their talented winemakers, who generously gave her a behind-the-scenes tour and shared valuable insights into their winemaking process.
Behind the Scenes: Sparkling Wine Production
Cages After Bottling
The tour began with a look at the cages where bottles rest under a crown and bidule. Some bottles stay here for up to three years, allowing flavors to develop depth and complexity.
Yeast Sedimentation
Next, Samantha observed the yeast sedimentation process. Yeast settles naturally at the bottom of the bottles, an important step in creating sparkling wine’s signature flavor and fizz.
Riddling Rack Process
To prepare for disgorgement, bottles are placed in riddling racks. Over about three days, this process moves the yeast to the crown for removal.
Dedication to Quality
We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to visit our partners, see their process up close, and support their commitment to quality. As Hauser continues to grow, we look forward to building even stronger connections and providing top-notch packaging solutions.
