Grape Press Cycle Optimizer

Grape Press Cycle Optimizer MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Optimize press cycles for juice yield and phenolic quality.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides advanced winemaking optimization tools. Use calculate_optimal_cycle to generate complete pressing schedules based on equipment type and grape characteristics. You can use predict_fraction_quality to estimate the phenolic and color profile of specific juice portions, or simulate_contact_impact to evaluate how contact time affects bitterness. For comparing equipment performance, use compare_press_methods to evaluate how basket, membrane, or bladder presses handle specific targets.

Plan a press cycle for Cabernet Sauvignon using a membrane press with a 70% yield target and a quality target of 0.4.

The optimal cycle for Cabernet Sauvignon using a membrane press involves three pressure stages: 0.5 bar, 1.2 bar, and 1.8 bar, with a total cycle time of 145 minutes. This will achieve a 70% yield with an expected phenolic prediction of 0.38.

What is the quality of the first press fraction for Chardonnay using a basket press at 0.8 bar?

The first fraction for Chardonnay at 0.8 bar pressure via basket press has a juice volume of 450L, a low phenolic content of 0.12, and a light color intensity.

Compare how a bladder press vs a basket press would handle Pinot Noir for a 60% yield.

For Pinot Noir at 60% yield, the bladder press offers a higher quality score of 0.85 compared to the basket press score of 0.72, due to more controlled pressure distribution.

You can use the `calculate_optimal_cycle` tool by providing the press type, grape variety, and your desired yield and quality targets.
