Information about grape juice products and concentrates

At Julián Soler we work with different concentrated grape juices, using the Airén, Bobal or Garnacha Tintorera varieties depending on the result we want to obtain. Thus, we have white grape juice concentrate, red grape juice concentrate, high colour red grape juice concentrate and rectified grape juice concentrate.

Our grape juice concentrate is obtained from grape juice, from which we remove part of the water content by evaporation. It has 65/68º Brix and is used as a natural sweetener in fruit juices, wines and other foods.

The use of these concentrated juices is present in several productive sectors. They are not only used in the food industry but can also be found in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries.

Depending on the variety of grape used and the production process, the red juice may have richer or lesser color intensity, a feature that is highly demanded by our customers to sweeten and color naturally. Correct measurement is important to know what type of grape juice we can obtain. The most widespread measurement system is

What is grape juice concentrate?

The grape juice concentrate is the juice of the grape squeezed, before fermenting. The raw material that we use at Julián Soler is fresh grapes from our own vineyards and local farmers, which allows us to control traceability from start to finish. From the fresh grape, we extract the juices to make the grape juice

Calibration

A correct calibration and verification of the weighing instruments is essential when carrying out any commercial transaction. At JULIAN SOLER we calibrate our scales every year, just before we start receiving fresh grapes, thus ensuring the weight of the delivered raw material to the farmer.

Agriculture and tradition

Although farming machinery has seen tremendous technical developments in the last few decades, we can still find some of the first tractors that used to be commonly used in our region and that can be considered authentic “museum pieces” today. In the image we can observe a Lanz 6516 tractor from the year 1960, restored
