Wine Making at Crushpad: Filtering Wine Before Bottling
Should you filter wine during the wine making process - You decide.
Most white wines are filtered prior to bottling, and some reds are. Filtering can clarify a wine so that it sparkles in your glass, but if you filter wine too heavily it can strip away character. How do you decide what level of filtration, if any, is appropriate for your wine? Well, you ask a guy who has 25+ years wine making experience making that call. Crushpad’s Chief Winemaker, Michael Zitzlaff explains your options.
