01
Every block, every season
Fruit picked, sprays, fuel and what went on the soil, block by block and season by season, with anything missing named. A blank is never read as a zero.
Who it is for
Wineries, cider makers and distillers who grow some or all of their own grapes, apples or grain, from a few hectares to a whole estate, and buyers or auditors who ask where the fruit came from.
The season, block by block
A blank is not a zero.
Every block, where each figure came from, and what is still missing. Tick the blocks that are ready and confirm the season. Old Hop Garden cannot be ticked: it has no spray record yet.
From the harvest to the bottle
Each harvest carries its own season.
A wine names the harvests its grapes came from. Move the slider to change the blend, and see whether the name on the label still holds.
What you walk away with
Things you can hold, not promises.
02
A season that stays signed off
Confirm many blocks at once. If a figure moves afterwards, a late pick or an edited spray, the season shows as changed and needs confirming again.
03
A wine from its own harvest
A recipe names the harvest, not an average of every year. A non-vintage blend is costed harvest by harvest, and a vintage or variety in the name is checked against the 85% rule.
04
Spray records you can show
For vineyards, every spray checked against the operator’s certificate and the sprayer test on the day, the harvest interval and the copper per hectare per year.
How it works
Three steps.
- 1
Set up your blocks
Vineyard blocks, orchards and arable fields, each with its area and crop. For vines, the variety and year planted, grouped the way you farm them.
- 2
Give Rosa your records
Your spray diary, farm record sheets and soil lab reports. If you use vintrace, fruit intakes become picks on your blocks.
- 3
Confirm the season
Check each block, say what went on the soil, and confirm. Your wine, cider or spirit is measured from that season.
Price
£99
a month, in every plan

Questions people ask.
Why not use an average for our grapes?
An average describes someone else’s land. Your own sprays, fuel, fertiliser and yield give your own figure per kilo of fruit, and the recipe uses exactly the figure your footprint will use. For wine, each harvest is costed from its own season.
Which crops does alkatera cover?
Vineyards, orchards and arable fields, such as barley or wheat for a distillery. Each has its own calculation for fertiliser and field emissions, fuel, sprays and irrigation, and removals are always reported apart from emissions.
We do not use vintrace. Can we still use it?
Yes. Record picks and work logs on each block, and give Rosa your spray diary. If you do use vintrace, fruit intakes become picks on the blocks they came from, shared by area where one vintrace field covers several blocks.
We buy in some of our fruit. Does that count?
Yes. The Growers tab keeps each grower’s blocks and grape contracts, and shows what share of your crush is covered by data the growers gave you, by tonnes, with who to ask next.
Does alkatera measure soil carbon?
It records it from your own soil lab reports, which Rosa reads, and tracks it over time. It does not model soil carbon, and removals are never taken off a footprint.
Is this included in the price?
The fields are the Fields add-on: £49 a month for each 50 hectares at the founding partner rate, on top of any plan, excluding VAT. The first 50 hectares come with Canopy.
