Project Details
Apollo Projects designed and constructed Babich’s stunning new Marlborough winery, which spans 4,000m² and is designed to process approximately 6,500 tonnes of fruit. It features a fully enclosed receival area and press bay, marc collection and pad, open red fermenters, and a bulk wine tank area.
The architectural design includes modern office and laboratory spaces that make use of natural light and offer visual connection to the cellar. The exterior colour palette was carefully chosen to complement the surrounding natural landscape.
Innovative process design was central to the project, incorporating a range of energy-efficient features. These include a fully insulated tank area, a hot and cold glycol reticulation system, passive cellar cooling, and a highly efficient heat recovery system that captures waste heat from the refrigeration plant, all aimed at reducing environmental impact and enhancing energy efficiency.
This project was negotiated directly with Apollo, based on our proven expertise in delivering complex winery developments. Completed in just nine months, the facility is a world-class example of Apollo’s integrated design and build approach, delivering exceptional value and efficiency without compromising on quality.
