History
Since 1865 the Domènech family has worked lands in Penedès with passion to obtain the best fruit of the vineyards.
Francisco José Domènech (1839-1909) was the founder of the winemaking tradition in the family and the first to seek perfection of a well-done work.
With passion, vision and tradition spanning over 140 years,Vallformosa has created wines and cavas. An intimate expression of our personality, which honours five generations of wine growers.

Challenges
​
Lluis, the newly appointed technical director has a mission to establish a standardised model for operation and control of 2500 hectares of vineyards. Understanding the impact of climate change, getting an accurate yield estimate and monitoring fruit quality were some of the key challenges that Lluis was trying to solve. The magnitude of the challenges were magnified due to the sheer number of plots, approximately 2000, of which only 600 hectares are under direct supervision.

Solution
-
Unified dashboard with multi plot access
-
Spatial Imagery
-
Accurate yield estimation
-
Terraview offered an AI powered platform with a single dashboard to monitor key parameters collected from satellites, ground based sensors and weather station. The platform provided instant visibility for all 2000 plots. Access to key data such as micro climate, canopy cover analysis and vigour maps played an important role in monitoring fruit quality and yield. The use of machine intelligence to combine historical yield data with current data to generate accurate yield estimation was lauded the most.
