About Chelsea
Technical when you need it. Practical always.
I’m Chelsea Macdonald, a Marlborough-based technical viticulturist. Over the past 15 years I’ve worked across the practical and technical sides of vineyard management, from monitoring and assessments to yield estimation, systems and sustainability.
I started Bunch so I could work directly with growers and managers, providing flexible support that fits the vineyard, the season and the job that needs doing.
Bunch uses Scout

Monitoring is recorded through Scout, Bunch’s field-based vineyard system. It keeps block information, observations, assessments and actions together, so the useful detail doesn’t disappear into emails and spreadsheets.
You get a clearer view of what’s happening across the vineyard and a practical record to work from.
