A year on Franz Estate Winery | New additions: ERO Grapeliner 8000 grape harvester | Fendt 200 Vario

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

For this short film, we spent a year following Franz Estate Winery in Heilbronn. We got the chance to see several machines from ERO in use, including the cane pruner VITECO, a pre-pruner, a defoliater and of course the grape harvester. During the grape harvest, we were even able to film the new ERO Grapeliner 8200 being taken out for a test run and see how the team tackles harvesting on steep slopes.
