Recovering Value from Impacted Wines: A Breakthrough in Selective Remediation

Off-aromas caused by factors such as frost, pyrazines, Brettanomyces, M.O.G., and smoke can significantly impact wine quality. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are a cutting-edge technology designed to selectively remove unwanted compounds to help unmask wine’s desirable attributes and recover its value.

On Thursday, 10 April 2025, Napa wine producers gathered at VA Filtration for a technology briefing, where they:

• Discovered how MIPs work

• Heard from local wineries on their experience using amaea’s MIP solutions

• Participated in a tasting of a pyrazine and smoke impacted wine treated using amaea’s MIPs
