Although it may be clear, wine that has
not been fined can contain dissolved and suspended protein. These microscopic particles can clog the filter pad. Wine should always be fined a week before filtering.
For best results wine filters should ideally be used for polishing reasonably clear wines.
Sometimes the amateur winemaker has the mistaken belief that Filters remove body, taste or colour.
It is a well known fact that any wine you may purchase has at some stage or another, been filtered.
Filtering a wine will only remove the haze particles and yeast cells. Filtering wines improves taste, appearance and durability, and therefore clearly enhances its overall quality.
As filter pads only retain solid particles, it is clear that desirable flavour and body are unaffected.
