Cloudy

Beginner Faults & Defects

定义

Haze or turbidity in wine that should be clear.

深入了解

Cloudiness in filtered wines indicates a fault — possible causes include protein instability (whites), refermentation, bacterial contamination, or poor fining. However, unfiltered and natural wines may be intentionally cloudy without any fault present. Context matters: if the producer deliberately bottles without filtration, cloudiness is a style choice, not a defect.
