Affinity Labs
As the global wine industry continues to expand, timely and reliable testing services have become critical for maintaining quality and regulatory compliance. Affinity Labs’ comprehensive sample pick-up services offer an innovative solution that significantly enhances the efficiency and convenience of wine testing for producers across Australia. By providing convenient sample collection points and direct courier options for wine regions nationwide, Affinity Labs is transforming the way winemakers access essential laboratory testing, offering efficiency, reliability, accuracy and value for money. Affinity Labs’ approach includes a deep understanding of the winemaking process and the logistical challenges faced by winemakers. Wine producers often operate in rural or remote areas, where transportation efficiency and rapid turnaround times can be critical. Our strategically located drop-off points in the Hunter Valley, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Geelong ensure that wine samples can be quickly and efficiently processed, providing winemakers with reliable and trusted data that helps support business critical decisions. Affinity Labs’ own courier service operates across South Australia, providing regular pick-up service for regions including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills and Limestone Coast. This dedicated courier service provides a unique value-add for SA based clients, who can access rapid turnaround on a wide range of analyses, often within 24hrs. Affinity Labs’ new laboratory facility at Merbein is a key development in servicing clients across the Sunraysia region, as well as the neighbouring Riverland and Riverina regions. This facility allows grape and wine producers access to Affinity Labs’ broad range of services. By deploying Affinity Labs own sample collection service in the region, the time between sample submission and delivery of results is optimised, enabling winemakers to make critical decisions faster and more efficiently. All quarantine and documentation requirements associated with the movement of grapes and plant material across the border are supported by Affinity Labs’ Merbein representative. By providing a reliable, flexible and accessible option for sample analysis, regional wineries are able to maintain high-quality standards across all production stages and have confidence that their samples will be analysed promptly and accurately. Affinity Labs sample pick-up and courier services are designed to streamline the process of wine analysis, providing Australian winemakers with easy access to the best equipped and most advanced wine specialist laboratory in the southern hemisphere.
