Off-aromas caused by factors such as frost, pyrazines, Brettanomyces, M.O.G., and smoke can significantly impact wine quality. amaea’s custom-engineered, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) selectively removes unwanted molecules to naturally unmask wines’ desirable characters, helping recover its value.

In April 2025, Napa wine producers gathered to taste and provide their sensory feedback on a local winery’s pyrazine and smoke impacted wines commercially treated using amaea’s MIP solution.

Santa Barbara Vintners Association members gathered to taste and provide sensory feedback on a 2024 smoke impacted Mencia and Chardonnay treated using amaea’s highly selective molecular filtration technology. This technical tasting report reveals the analytical and sensory findings from the tasting.

Californian wineries are set to gain access to an award-winning molecular filtration technology with industry specialists, VA Filtration announcing their latest partnership with amaea.

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.

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.

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.

Winemakers from Southern Oregon gathered to taste and provide sensory feedback on smoke impacted wines that were treated using amaea’s molecular filtration technology.

Panel participants overwhelmingly agreed amaea’s solution not only remediated, but enhanced sensory outcomes of previously smoke impacted wine. Read the full report…
