Bentonite (7g packet)

Bentonite is a solution used for clarifying wine must at the start of winemaking. Its goal is to ensure a crystal-clear wine and to prevent any clear wine from becoming cloudy. Bentonite is highly effective on proteins, which can cause cloudiness in wine through a process known as protein denaturation when exposed to high temperatures. Bentonite is an impure clay formed from the weathering of volcanic ash and acts as an absorbent material that bonds with the particles that cause cloudiness.
