Faced with a particularly phenolic 2024 Marlborough Pinot Gris, winemaker, Digger Hennessy, applied amaea PFx to reduce the wine’s excessive bitterness which traditional fining methods couldn’t resolve. The treatment resulted in an overall lift in the wine’s saleable quality.

US-based, consulting winemaker, Christopher Hudson used amaea VPx to successfully remediate 65,000 gallons of Oregon 2023 Pinot Noir impacted by smoke from the Umpqua Valley wildfires, back to its intended program.

Harsh freezes followed by record-breaking wildfires saw Terralux Estate Winery facing a challenging harvest as well as managing smoke impacted grapes. Determined to keep what little they had in its intended programs, Terralux turned to amaea VPx to preserve the dignity of the wines and to keep them at their high-quality mark.

Cooler than average harvest conditions left a US winery with prevalent green aromas in their Cabernet Sauvignon. Looking for a solution focused on value recovery, they turned to amaea’s molecularly imprinted polymers. The result was a wine that offered more fruit-forward characters.

To conduct palate fining of their category-leading 0% Merlot, NZ wine producer, Giesen replaced their use of gelatin with amaea's innovative molecularly imprinted polymers, resulting in an additive-free, vegan friendly solution and tangible, operational gains.

amaea PF outperformed PVPP for improving the quality of hard-pressed wines. By significantly reducing bitterness and astringency, amaea PF presents a significant opportunity for reclaiming quality and yield. Read the case study to find out more.
