What to look for when sourcing grape must

Product specification

Fresh must destined for fermentation and concentrated must for blending are different products. Start with your intended use: wine, vinegar, juice, or other food processing.

Form & state

Define fresh must, concentrated must, or preserved must. For concentrate, agree the concentration ratio or degrees Brix. For fresh must, specify if it is from the current harvest.

Composition

Agree on sugar content, total acidity, pH, and any additives such as sulfites. These parameters drive fermentation behavior and final product quality.

Variety & vintage

Name the grape variety and harvest year. For blends, specify the permitted varieties and proportions.

Quality acceptance

Quality for must is judged by lab analysis and sensory checks, not just a visual snapshot. Agree how the sample will be assessed and how it links to the delivered lot.

  • Laboratory parameters

    Set target ranges for sugar, acidity, pH, and volatile acidity. Note these are per your specification, not universal standards, and ask who performed any quoted analysis.

  • Sensory assessment

    Evaluate taste, aroma, and color against a reference sample. Define unacceptable taints such as oxidation or microbial spoilage.

  • Sampling & claims

    Identify the offer, pre-shipment, and arrival samples. Retain the approved sample and agree on inspection, testing responsibility, and claim deadlines.

Origin requirements

Origin influences flavor and processing suitability. Confirm the level of traceability you need from single-vineyard lots to regional blends.

Geographic origin

Request the growing region, vineyard or cooperative, and harvest period. For blended must, define the allowed origins to keep character consistent.

Harvest & handling

Ask when the grapes were harvested and crushed, and how the must was stored, refrigerated, sulfited, or concentrated. This affects freshness and shelf life.

Substitution rules

For repeat orders, specify which origin or variety substitutions are acceptable and how they must be communicated before shipment.

Commercial terms

Must can be quoted per metric ton or per hectoliter, and fresh or concentrated products have different delivery logic. Compare the total cost on the same basis.

Unit of measure
Confirm whether the price is per weight or volume, and for concentrate, per ton of concentrate or per ton of equivalent fresh must. This affects cost comparison.
Delivery basis
Agree FOB a named port (for fresh or preserved must), or ex-works from a concentrate producer. Align freight, insurance, and cold-chain or ambient handling.
Order terms
Match batch size, packaging (such as flexitank, drum, or aseptic bag), shipment window, and payment terms. Fresh must may require faster delivery and novated payment.

Documentation & compliance

Documentation must match the specific lot you are buying, not just the supplier's general operations. Verify that the paperwork supports the product and destination.

Batch traceability
Align batch numbers, quantities, and product descriptions across the invoice, packing list, transport document, and any certificate of analysis.
Food safety evidence
For processed must, check that any stated food safety management system covers this product category and that the lot has the required testing or certificates.
Destination requirements
For imports, confirm what customs and plant-health documentation is required at the destination. This may include phytosanitary certificates or alcohol-related permits, depending on the product and end use.

Supplier capability

A grower, processor, and trader each control different parts of the supply chain. Establish who is accountable for the quality and condition of your must.

  • Processing and storage

    Identify who presses the grapes, concentrates or preserves the must, and stores it. Ask about their temperature control and hygiene practices.

  • Batch consistency

    Ask how the supplier ensures consistent composition across batches, especially for concentrate. For fresh must, ask how they handle seasonal variation.

  • Logistics fit

    Confirm minimum order size, sample provision, and ability to handle cold-chain or aseptic shipping. For small orders, check if they can consolidate with other buyers.
