WINESHIELD

Wine is loaded with natural antioxidants and beneficial elements that do a great job of overall preservation. This however is not enough to keep it fresh and to retain color and aroma, wine oxidises and goes off. This can result in flatter flavor profiles, darkened colours and a neutral odour, as the wine ages further it can result in the introduction of “corked” flavors and profile.

Wineshield is an organic and natural solution to these challenges that provides winemakers a new tool in being able to manage the shelf life and quality of their wines into the long term.

Winemakers face the challenge of meeting year long demand and sales through harvest that takes place once a year. Wineries have to invest in significantly greater storage and wine is stored for longer than most other beverages.

Winemakers attempt to process and entire harvest in as small a period as possible and run batch production on full tanks however this is not always possible. This means that wine is often stored for long periods in tanks and in some cases where they are less than full, all of which results in greater risk of oxidation, greater levels of SO2 dosing and a product that is stressed before it is bottled.

Wineshield can be dosed directly in tanks to protect against oxidation and damage.

Organic wine has limitations on the levels of SO2 that can be added, depending on the territory this may even mean zero added SO2. Many of these winemakers are investing in significant equipment and technology to achieve low DO levels to mitigate oxidation.

Wineshield is a perfect solution to managing SO2 levels through supplemental dosing to assist in limiting staling and oxidation.
