The Company

Winemaking Supplies & Services was formed in 2006 to take over the business of Winery Supplies Pty. Ltd. – a business founded in 1989 to provide a comprehensive range of winemaking chemicals, yeasts, laboratory equipment and reagents, processing equipment, vineyard supplies and just about anything required by the winemaker.

With the establishment of the new company, several exciting developments have unfolded.   Intec®, one of the largest European suppliers of Yeasts, yeast nutrients, tannins, enzymes and polysaccharides have appointed Winemaking Supplies & Services Pty. Ltd. as their sole Australian distributor of the entire range of products they produce.  We now have access to one of the most technically advanced producers in the world with a huge research & development programme to develop new strains of yeasts to suit individual requirements.    For the first time in Australia, we are able to offer a range of yeasts which were developed in Europe specifically the replicate the flavour profiles  of Australian wines.  Called the “New World Strains”, these special strains will mean that for the first time in Australia, we can offer yeast cultures specifically formulated to suit our styles, not adaptations of French, Portuguese or Spanish  strains which we have had to use in the past.  The world is clambering for the New World styles, and these strains should assist in presenting Australian wines with all of the qualities the world has come to enjoy.
In addition to the “New World Strains”, Intec® have a range of Italian yeasts developed in Italy to suit the “Old World” styles of Primitivo, Montepulciano, Tocai, Barbera, Sangiovese & Dolcetto.    This should come as good news to the Australian producers who are developing a range of Italian styles with the growing demand  for alternative wine styles.

Tannins are wonderful new products which have only recently  been introduced to the Australian market, and if recent trials and tastings are any indication, Intec® pre and post fermentation tannins will be a great new tool for Australian winemakers to use to give texture and mouth feel to a range of red and white wines.  The Intec®  range of Polysaccharides have recently been released to Australia wide acclaim.

With the development of small to medium sized wineries all over Australia, the Company has had to expand its field of operation, and now covers all states of Australia and exports to many winemaking ventures around the Pacific.

The new smart logo adopted by the company is symbolic of our new fresh approach to customer relations, product development and delivery – especially at vintage time!  The vast range of experience of our staff, is available to all of our clients and backed up with reliable, quality products from the best producers in the World.
