Isinglass to assist with clarification and brightening

IOC CRISTALLINE PLUS™ can improve clarity and filterability even in difficult-to-filter wines (e.g., wines made with botrytized grapes).
  • Generally used in white and rosé wines to increase brilliance
  • It is favored by Pinot noir winemakers due to its gentle fining effect and brightening of aromas
  • Works best when the initial solid levels are relatively low
  • CRISTALLINE PLUS is not sensitive to cold temperatures but may be slow to complete settling; co-fine with GELOCOLLE for faster settling
  • Blend of isinglass and citric acid stabilized with potassium metabisulfite

Stage of Winemaking: Wine (pre-bentonite addition)
Contact Time:
2-4 weeks
Impact:
Clarification
Frequently used in: 
light reds, whites, rosés, fruit wines, cider

Recommended Dosage - Bench trials recommended
  • Wine 15–30 ppm (1.5–3 g/hL) (0.12–0.25 lb/1000 gal)
Usage: Dissolve CRISTALLINE PLUS in 150–200 times its weight of tepid water (15–20°C (59–68°F)). Allow to swell for 3 hours. Add additional water if solution is too viscous. Add homogenized solution to wine, taking care to mix well. Rack once lees are well settled.
Storage: Dated expiration. Store in a cool, dry, odor-free environment. Once opened, keep tightly sealed and dry.
