Winery Software for Australia — Wine Australia Compliance & GI Management

Australian wineries operate under a label integrity regime that requires evidence of variety, vintage and region-of-origin claims for the wine in each bottle. Most producers handle that with spreadsheets, paper crush sheets and a great memory — until Wine Australia or AGWA asks for the records.

Cepaos captures the right data at the moment it happens. Each pick record links fruit to a vineyard block and its GI. Each transfer updates the lot history. Each blend records the contributing lots and the percentage from each origin. The export approval and label integrity evidence Wine Australia expects is no longer a reconstruction exercise — it is a query.

For producers shipping export-approved wine, Cepaos also keeps the data needed to support Export Certificates: producer, batch, alcohol by volume, vintage, variety, GI and packaging detail at lot level, ready to feed into the AGWA submission process.

Vintage is the toughest stretch of the year. Crews are stretched, tanks are moving, and small mistakes compound. Cepaos was designed for that reality: every pick, transfer, addition and analysis is entered once — ideally from a phone or tablet at the crush pad — and flows into every downstream report.

The cellar dashboard shows tank capacity, free space and lot composition in real time. Winemakers can decide where to put the next pick without ringing the cellar hand. Mass balance flags any discrepancy that exceeds the tolerance you set, so you spot a wrong-tank entry the same day — not the following March.
