Pupitres are traditional wooden frames with tapering angled holes are for the process of manual riddling (remuage) during English / Welsh sparkling wine production (traditional method), Champange (méthode champenoise) production and bottle-fermented cider production.
Please see our Champagne Crown Caps (part code 98760 & 91660).
Please see Disgorging & Dosage for our range of equipment for disgoring, dosage & riddling.
[Did you know that our sister company, Rawlings, supplies bottles? See Glass Packaging]
Inverted, crown capped bottles are placed manually in the pupitre for the process of riddling (remuage), which involves manually and fractionally rotating each bottle at regular intervals, so that the deposit of yeast (lees) settle inside the caps via gravity. The riddling process can take anything from about 4 - 6 weeks. On completion the the bottles are ready for disgorgement.
