amaea developed its molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) technology — a highly selective remediation approach designed to target and remove specific unwanted compounds while preserving desirable wine components.

In partnership with the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance, winemakers participated in a guided tasting to evaluate wines from a local winery affected by pyrazine and smoke taint, both before and after treatment using amaea’s MIP solution.

US-based, consulting winemaker, Christopher Hudson used amaea VPx to successfully remediate 65,000 gallons of Oregon 2023 Pinot Noir impacted by smoke from the Umpqua Valley wildfires, back to its intended program.

Harsh freezes followed by record-breaking wildfires saw Terralux Estate Winery facing a challenging harvest as well as managing smoke impacted grapes. Determined to keep what little they had in its intended programs, Terralux turned to amaea VPx to preserve the dignity of the wines and to keep them at their high-quality mark.
