Bentonite 100g CLEARING – Tremendously clean – WOW WOW!

Bentonite is a highly effective wine fining agent used to clarify and stabilize wines by removing suspended particles. Packaged in 100g, this negatively charged clay is particularly suited for wines that struggle to clear with isinglass alone. Its unique properties make it a valuable addition to the winemaking process, especially for wines requiring enhanced protein stability.

Key Features:

1. Negative Charge for Effective Clearing
   Bentonite’s negative charge helps it attract and bind with positively charged particles, such as proteins and certain impurities that may remain in suspension. This makes it an excellent solution for wines that do not respond to traditional fining agents like isinglass.
2. Clears Residual Protein
   In addition to working independently, bentonite is often used after isinglass treatment to clear any residual protein that may linger, ensuring a more stable, protein-free wine. This reduces the risk of haze development during aging or in warmer storage conditions.
3. Versatile Application
   This product is suitable for use with both red and white wines, contributing to clarity, shelf stability, and improved appearance. It is particularly beneficial for wines prone to cloudiness and can help safeguard against protein instability, a common issue in white wines.

Usage Instructions:

• Dissolve the powder in warm water or wine before adding it to the batch. It is essential to prepare a slurry for even distribution.
• Once added, allow the wine to sit for several days to settle before racking or filtering.

This is a reliable solution for winemakers who need to address challenging clarifying issues or improve protein stability. Its synergy with isinglass offers an extra layer of protection, ensuring that the finished wine is not only clear but also visually appealing.
