Bench Trials

Bench trials are an essential step in determining dosage rates for treatments during wine aging. With fining treatments, you want to add just enough product to remove the unwanted character, but not over-fine the wine and remove aromatics or desired texture. With tannin and mannoprotein treatments, each wine has a “sweet spot” where the mouthfeel comes into balance and this can only be found through bench trialing different dose rates.
