For Marisco Vineyards, one of New Zealand’s prized wineries, a Pinot Noir that had been severely impacted by a species of Pentatomidae, more commonly known as the Australasian green shield bug, was destined to be used in an unallocated blend. However, after using amaea RMx - a highly selective, molecular filtration technology - the wine was able to be remediated back to its intended program.

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 and a score of 93.
