sorting 2010 Pinot Noir on new state-of-the-art Pellenc Vision

Watch a short video of Cuvaison Estate Wines sorting their 2010 Pinot Noir on the brand-new state-of-the-art Pellenc “Vision.”

This de-stemmer/sorter machine features a high speed camera that sorts roughly 1000 berries per second.

The winemaker teaches the machine what to keep and what to get rid of, and it does so by learning the shape (round berries) and color (black berries), etc.

Then the machine excludes (through a well directed micro blast of compressed air) any berries or stems that are not wanted.”
