Better Wine,
Made Better
improve your winemaking and work smarter
enWineering is a combination of consulting service, analytical capability, and I even make a little wine on the side!
Founded by Andrew Drumm following a career as a process engineer, winemaker, and winery manager, I bring all those skills together to help you make better wine, know more about your business performance, and get more results from the effort and passion you put into your business.
I have worked as a process engineer in New Zealand and the Netherlands. As a winemaker, I have worked with fruit from Beechworth, Cowra, Gundagai, Hilltops, King Valley, McLaren Vale, Orange, Riverina, and Tumbarumba, and I have made sparkling wines, table wines, and fortified wines. My winemaking skills include vineyard assessment, vintage, maturation, blending, analysis, packaging, and sales. I have managed wineries with activities including staff management, budget preparation and cost control, product forecasting and cost analysis, purchasing and stock management.
This is not an example of work smarter!
Professional Services
Whether you need business planning, cost analysis, or to streamline your day-to-day processes, the combination of your knowledge with my analytical skills will deliver value to your business.
winemaking knowledge
As both an engineer and a winemaker I am uniquely placed to work with you to review and improve all aspects of your winery practices, so you can make the best wine possible.
Areas to look at include refrigeration systems, inert gas management, hoses and pumping, and fermentation management.
Wine analysis
In addition to my advisory services, I run a small winery lab with automated enzymatic analysis (YAN, malic, g+f, acetic) and rapid free sulphur dioxide measurement. This technology is fast and cost-effective, allowing rapid analysis across individual barrels or identifying areas of oxygen pickup.
I can also review your analytical needs to ensure you’re getting the information you need at the lowest possible cost.
