Bench Scale Targeted Filtration Test Track
It is important to understand the impact of various treatments on a small scale before processing large volumes in the winery. Test Track allows you to conduct bench trials on all available Winesecrets process options, to include:
- Ultrafilter wine to understand the benefits of intensifying color or flavor.
- Conduct alcohol removal and alcohol addition trials to find the perfect concentration for your wine’s structure.
- Understand the impact of taint removal including Brettanomyces, smoke taint, volatile acidity, geranium taint, sulfur-like odors (SLO)and pyrazine from under-ripe fruit, Asian lady beetles and stink bugs.
Use Test Track bench trials and Winesecrets’ 15 years of experience to mitigate off-aromas and unidentifiable characteristics in a wine.
