September 6, 2026 · Sunday harvest capacity screen

Sunday is the last clean window to make Monday harvest capacity real.

If fruit is getting picked early this week, submit a complete Sunday brief: fruit status, tons, pick window, services needed, bottleneck, and approval contact. The faster the request is specific, the faster Temecula Custom Crush can say whether receiving, tank, pressing, or storage capacity is a fit.

Sunday screening priorities

Four details turn a weekend lead into a Monday-ready capacity answer.

Monday receiving risk

Name any fruit that must arrive Monday or Tuesday, including pick time, vineyard area, tons, varietals, trucking status, and whether cold hold is needed.

Tank and press bottlenecks

Separate receiving, crush/destem, pressing, fermentation tank, barrel or tank storage, lab work, and bottling coordination so the actual constraint can be screened.

Decision contact

List who can approve scope, minimums, deposit, and schedule before Monday morning; Sunday leads need a decision owner, not a committee queue.

Fallback trigger

State what will force a change: heat spike, Brix jump, current winery full, fermentation issue, storage conflict, or buyer deadline.

Request a Sunday screen

Send the useful version before Monday bottlenecks lock up.

Best format: varietal / tons / pick date or range / fruit source / services needed / current bottleneck / storage or bottling deadline / approval contact. If fruit is moving within 48 hours, submit details and call after sending.

If picking Monday: compare the request against the night-before-pick checklist.

If another facility is full: start with the overflow triage path.

Check Harvest Availability

Our next crush begins in August 2027. Tell us your volume, fruit status, production window, and services needed. Add the optional planning details if you know them; you do not need a finalized production plan to ask about fit. If fruit is moving within 7 days, submit your details and call (951) 410-8388.

1. Volume / tons
2. Fruit status
3. Pick window
4. Services needed
What happens next: we review your requested timing, tanks, labor, storage, and cellar scope. Submitting a request does not reserve capacity or confirm a receiving appointment. Wait for direct confirmation before scheduling delivery.

7 required details remain. Everything else is optional. Your progress is saved in this browser tab until you submit or close it.

Use a complete address, such as name@example.com, so we can reply to your quote request.

Optional. Add a complete number if you want a call; email is enough to request a review.

Choose a suggested range or type your own tons, gallons, or case target. If undecided, choose “Need help estimating.”

Optional. Add a bottling deadline, launch month, or exact pick date if one is already set.

This separates ready-to-schedule fruit from sourcing, private-label, or feasibility requests.

This helps us prioritize urgent harvest capacity requests and route exploratory projects correctly.

Working with bulk wine or a private label? Choose the no-grape-pick option. Still exploring? Choose timing undecided.

Services Needed *

Choose at least one. Relevant services may be preselected from the page you visited; review or change them before sending. If you are unsure, choose Not sure / need guidance.

Optional. This helps us understand which custom-crush resources and referrals bring qualified projects to us.

No spam. We use this to screen project fit, 2027 capacity, services needed, and the fastest next step.

FAQ

What makes a Sunday custom crush request easier to screen?+

A concise Sunday request should include phone number, fruit status, tons by varietal, vineyard or source area, likely pick and receiving timing, services needed, storage expectations, and the person authorized to approve next steps before Monday.

Should I submit if I only know a tonnage range?+

Yes. A current range is enough to begin a capacity screen. Include what could change the number and when you expect final confirmation so the team can judge receiving, tank, labor, and storage fit.

Is this only for full-service custom crush?+

No. Sunday capacity checks can cover targeted harvest bottlenecks such as receiving, pressing, fermentation tanks, storage, lab work, bottling coordination, or overflow support as well as full production programs.
