Mobile wine bottling  ·  Stellenbosch  ·  Since 1997

We bring the bottling line to your cellar.

Technofill is a Stellenbosch-based mobile bottling and labelling company. Our fully equipped lines drive to your farm, fill, close and label on site, and leave you with finished wine ready for market. No million-rand machinery standing idle, no wine on the road. Just skilled technicians, careful handling and a line that arrives when you need it.

What we do

Bottled at your door.

A bottling line is a serious investment for a machine used only a handful of days a year. Our mobile units let cellars of every size bottle on their own premises, with three lines on the road so we can help even at short notice.

01

Mobile bottling

Filling and closing on site, with your wine never leaving the cellar.

  • Cork, screw cap (ROPP), crown cap or sheath cap
  • Sparging with inert gas
  • Inkjet batch printing
02

Labelling

A dedicated labelling unit that works alongside the bottling line.

  • Front, back & certification labels
  • Bottle orientation & optical spotting
  • External bottle washing
03

Filtration

Final filtration matched to your specification, brought with the line.

  • Sheet filtration
  • Membrane filtration
  • Quotes on request
Equipment hire

Small batch? Do it yourself.

For garagistes and smaller quantities, we rent out equipment by the day. Collect from our Stellenbosch depot and bottle at your own pace.

Francois La Garde

Our own Méthode Cap Classique.

Founder Piet Matthee, a former cellar technology lecturer at Elsenburg, first made MCC in 1999, honouring an ancestor's lifelong dream. Since 2009 his bottle-fermented sparkling wines carry the Francois La Garde label.

Hand-picked Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Semillon from Constantia and Franschhoek, whole-bunch pressed, vinified separately and matured 36 months on the lees.

Fine mousse, delicate bubbles. A string of pearls.
