Press Release

15th November 2024

VineWorks is excited to announce its new role as the designated UK distributor of Frolight Systems, an innovative frost protection solution for vineyards. Frolight’s cutting-edge technology uses infrared radiation to protect crops from spring frost, ensuring reliable protection even in temperatures as low as -6°C.

Since its development began in 2019, Frolight has rapidly gained recognition across Europe, officially launching in 2021. The system has already been adopted by over 400 vineyards in more than 10 European countries and is now expanding worldwide. VineWorks is proud to bring this groundbreaking technology to vineyard owners, offering a more sustainable and efficient frost protection solution.

Key Benefits of Frolight

• Peace of Mind During Frost Season
  Frolight provides hassle-free frost protection, allowing vineyard owners to safeguard their crops without constant monitoring or labour-intensive efforts.
• Fully Automated, Less Labour-Intensive
  The system is fully automated with online monitoring, reducing the need for manual intervention and freeing up time for other critical tasks in vineyard management.
• Environmentally-Friendly and Sustainable
  Unlike traditional frost protection systems, Frolight consumes less energy, making it an environmentally conscious choice while minimising its carbon footprint.

How Frolight Works

Unlike conventional frost protection methods that rely on inefficient convection heating, Frolight leverages infrared radiation technology to deliver efficient, 360° heat coverage directly to the vineyard shoots. This ensures better energy transfer without heat loss, even in adverse weather conditions like wind or rain.

What Sets Frolight Apart:

• Automated Activation: Frolight automatically turns on and off based on pre-set temperatures, allowing vineyard owners to avoid long, labour-intensive nights.
• Uniform Heat Distribution: The infrared modules ensure consistent energy distribution, protecting the entire vineyard efficiently.
• All-Weather Reliability: Regardless of wind or rain, Frolight maintains its protective efficiency, guaranteeing frost protection when it’s needed most.
• Environmentally-Friendly Option: Frolight’s energy-efficient design minimises heat loss, and if powered by a generator, the system can run on biofuel, further reducing its environmental impact.

VineWorks is thrilled to offer Frolight to vineyard owners looking for a trusted, sustainable solution to frost protection. This advanced technology ensures peace of mind while helping vineyards thrive even in challenging weather conditions.
