Filtration

Clarification

Wine filtration: physical clarification from coarse pads to sterile membrane filters.

About This Method

Physical removal of particles by passing wine through a filter. Ranges from coarse pad filtration to tight sterile filtration (0.45 microns). Ensures microbiological stability and visual clarity. Some producers avoid filtration, arguing it strips flavor and texture, bottling 'unfined and unfiltered.'
