Rathfinny Grape Press: Grant funding was given towards the purchase of an 8 tonne Coquard grape press which together with the existing 4 tonne press will allow the processing of a maximum of 24 tonnes of grapes a day, thereby reducing the processing period and improving the quality of the harvested grapes and vineyard yields. It is part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
Winery Processing Equipment: Grant funding was provided towards the purchase of a state of the art high-speed bottling, riddling, disgorging, labelling and packaging facility. It will generate growth and exports, create many new skilled rural jobs, ensure the viability of the winemaking facility already onsite and secure the jobs of over forty people currently working at the Rathfinny Wine Estate. It is part funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
