Located in the heart of the Murrumbateman wine region in New South Wales, the Shaw Estate Winery combines award-winning wines with a fine dining experience. Intertwined restaurant operations, events and wine tastings place high demands on kitchen workflows, quality and reliability. Aiming to integrate modern kitchen technology into this environment, a solution was implemented that combines efficiency, durability and modern work processes.
Wine, cuisine and hospitality come together at Shaw Estate Winery. Restaurant operations and events are an integral part of the winery and make high demands on workflows, quality and reliability. The kitchen has to run smoothly every day, handle peak periods during events and at the same time reflect the atmosphere of a rural winery.
The objective was to find a modern solution that efficiently supports operations, delivers consistent results, and meets growing demands for energy efficiency. At the same time, equipment has to be robust, durable and unobtrusive – functional in day-to-day use without dominating the original character of the location.
Together with the project partner, a fully electric kitchen was implemented with MKN cooking technology, specifically designed to meet the requirements of a winery with restaurant and event operations. MKN's energy-efficient appliances form the basis for structured workflows, reproducible results and a reliable daily kitchen routine.
The MKN technology used supports clear processes, reduces maintenance requirements and makes cleaning and upkeep easier. At the same time, it was ensured that the cooking equipment blends elegantly into the overall kitchen environment and provides reliable assistance during daily operation and special occasions.
Today, the Shaw Estate Winery has a kitchen that caters equally to the requirements of gastronomy and event operations. The all-electric solutions ensure energy-efficient operation and consistent results as well as supporting the kitchen team during fluctuating workloads.
The equipment is built to last and forms a basis for reliable, plannable operation. This creates an interplay of wine tasting, cuisine and service that offers guests an overall cohesive experience, while at the same time safeguarding a future-oriented infrastructure for the winery.
„It is a great cost cutting tool with fossil fuel. Good to work with electric in terms of it produces less ash and heat so it is a lot cooler especially during summer. Overall, pretty happy with MKN products that Phoeniks has provided to us. It is a very beautiful looking cooking suit & it was all custom made to the needs of our venue. Obviously going to all-electric compared to Gas and the Chefs and myself has been embracing it.“
