amaea VPx is our breakthrough molecular filtration technology that uses molecularly imprinted polymers to selectively remove unwanted smoke marker compounds from wine. The innovation enables winemakers to recover wine value that might otherwise be lost due to wildfires.

amaea’s new precision wine technology is changing how winemakers address quality challenges and recover value from fault-affected and heavily phenolic wines. A New Zealand developer of custom-engineered molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), amaea is gaining industry validation for its novel molecular filtration technology for precision wine remediation and palate fining.

Wine science researchers from the University of Adelaide have found that a tailor-made polymer developed in New Zealand could hold the key to removing smoke taint in wine.
