Bentonite - Absolute Flow

Absolute flow is a micronised oenological bentonite 25kg (99% of the particles have dimensions < 45µm) that rapidly settles forming compact lees with good deproteinization results. The characteristics of Absolute Flow is ideal for the use of cross-flow filtration downstream, that does not cause abrasion or wear to the membranes.

Bentonite - Bentoflot

Powder bentonite, specifically for the flotation of musts. The high deproteinizing capacity allows to reduce the dose of subsequent bentonite to be used on wines to achieve protein stability.

25kg

Bentonite - Superbenton

An active Sodium bentonite with a high protein removal capacity and can be used in static settling or floatation systems.

Bentonite - WG KWK

Sodium Bentonite is a hydrated aluminium silicate consisting of layers/sheets of negatively charged atoms. Bentonite is mostly used after fermentation to clarify both white & red wine to remove positively charged particles such as proteins.

Creme of Tartar

Seeded into wines under refrigeration to reduce the time required for cold stabilisation and avoid the precipitation of crystalline deposits in bottled wines.

Carbon CA-50

CA-50 is a powdered activated carbon that is used to decolourise juice and wine.

20kg

Carbon - Carb Off

Powder-free carbon using miniTubes™ technology. Deodorising carbon for correcting organoleptic defects in a juice or wine. The high specific surface can remove various molecules allowing decisive correction of off flavours and aromas.

Copper Sulphate

A food grade copper sulphate used to remove unpleasant sulphidic wine aromas often referred to as “reductive characteristics”.

Harmony Vitality

Harmony Vitality is a yeast derivative to protect wines from oxidation. Used during the ageing and storage phases, it plays the important role of consuming dissolved oxygen and protecting both fragrances and colour from oxidative ageing phenomena.
Mainly used on whites and rosé but also can improve the purple hue in the young red wines.

Malic Acid

Added to wines where the malic levels are low. Malic acid can be added to maintain the natural balance of tartaric/malic acid found in grapes used to make wine.

Mosaico Protect

Mosaico Protect is a white and rose fining agent in the miniTube form. Yeast derivatives are responsible for the softening of
acid notes, Chitosan is highly reactive with oxidative compounds as well as iron and copper that increases freshness,  mouthfeel, reduces bitterness and restores the right colour hue. Whilst a special bentonite co-activated during production improves protein stability.

Mosaico Round

Mosaico Round is a red wine fining agent in the miniTube form. The association between the different components give several results; Yeast derivatives are active on the tannic profile making the wine more smoother and balanced, the Chitin derivatives eliminates the fractions which are sensitive to oxidative degradation and the Chitosan reduces the risk of Brettanomyces.

Potassium Bicarbonate

Potassium bicarbonate is used as a deacidification agent. A reduction in TA of 1.0g/L requires an addition of 1.3g/L of potassium bicarbonate.

25kg

Potassium Carbonate

Juice or wine of high acidity/low pH is best treated with potassium carbonate. A reduction in TA of 1.0/L requires an addition of 0.62g/L of potassium carbonate.

25kg

Potassium Metabisulphate (PMS)

PMS contains approximately 56% sulphur dioxide. It is added to juice/wine for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties. 10g/100L is equivalent to 50ppm SO2.

Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate can be used to prevent spoilage by yeasts & moulds in a finished wine or cider. It will also prevent further fermentation of sugars either added or remaining in the wine or cider. It does this by rendering these micro-organisims unable to reproduce

PVPP - DC-POL G

Powder-free PVPP using miniTubes™ technology. Completely eliminates dust formation and allows for complete and immediate product dissolution. Is used on juice and wines to remove oxidised and oxidizable polyphenols.

PVPP

A synthetic fining agent used in wine as a specific absorbent for phenolic compounds, particularly in pressings, which lead to astringency and browning of white wines. Essentially a gentle fining agent which removes phenolics without decreasing the aroma of the wine.

20kg

Sodium Metabisulphate (SMS)

Sodium Metabisulphite should only be used as a sanitising agent as excess sodium is undesirable in final product. SMS can replace PMS as a barrel or oak sanitiser.

Sulphur Tablets

Sulphur tablets allow precise and uniform addition of small amounts of SO2 to wine barrels. 1 tablet releases 5g of SO2.

Skim Milk Powder

Skim milk is a fining agent that is used to remove the bitterness and hardness of white wines and sherries. The active protein in skim milk is called casein. Casein can be used as a gelatin substitute to reduce the tannins in red wine, and remove brown colour from oxidised white wines or rosé. Skim milk powder is made from separation of whole milk, and evaporating and spray drying skim milk.
