Delivering a highly selective, sustainable alternative for palate fining

Sustainable fining tech disrupting the wine industry

Fining agents are a powerful tool in a winemaker’s toolbox to optimize the sensory of wine. However, the high-volume waste streams generated from single-use fining agents, allergen, additive and vegan friendly concerns, as well as the associated labor-intensive racking and cleaning process, renders traditional fining methods increasingly unsustainable.

Tailored sensory without the use of fining agents

amaea PFx provides a highly selective and sustainable fining solution for palate fining wine. Using a unique, custom-engineered molecular filtration technology, amaea PFx helps winemakers achieve the sensory benefits of fining – without the need for traditional fining agents.

By using amaea PFx wineries are able to:

• Selectively remove phenolics to balance wine sensory

• Leverage opportunities for favorable labeling

• Minimize racking yield-loss associated with traditional fining processes

• Significantly reduce high-volume waste streams by switching from single-use fining agents to re-usable filtration

• Gain operational and cost efficiencies by removing the need for additional waste management

Low-impact production process using regenerable polymers

Designed for precision, amaea PFx uses amaea molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) to selectively capture the phenolic compounds responsible for bitterness and astringency found in wine.

As the wine is filtered, the target molecules bind to amaea MIPs. Once saturated, amaea MIPs are regenerated using an eluent, ready to be used again.

The result is a solution which focuses on capturing only what is needed using a regenerable, low-impact production process.

Designed with winemakers for winemakers

Working with a team of winemakers, amaea PFx has been specially designed to deliver a fining capability that works for you.

From adjustable treatment rates that enable tailored sensory outcomes, to a wine production system designed for sustainability, amaea PFx is fast becoming winemakers’ choice for fining applications.
