Liquids

Often used with isinglass, bentonite, gelatins, and other organically derived fining agents to help compact the lees, Gelocolle is a liquid solution of suspended silica that is used during fining to help improve settling. Gelocolle also helps to limit the risk of over-fining when used in conjuction with other fining agents. Gelocolle can also be used to remove excess protein in both red and white wine, thereby improving their filterability. Gelocolle is completely inert and will not add any flavor or aroma to the wine. To Use Add Gelocolle 1 hour after the fining agent. Mix well to ensure homogenization. Recommended Dosage: In general, use Gelocolle at a rate of 1 mL Gelocolle per 1 g of the fining agent you are aiding. For protein removal use 5 ml Gelocolle per gallon of wine. Note: When using Gelocolle with a gelatin fining, use 1.0 mL of Gelocolle to 1.0 mL of gelatin. Once opened use immediately. Best stored at 50-68 F (10-20 C). Gelocolle solidifies irreversibly when frozen.

Colle Perle is a hydrolyzed gelatin solution. Primary uses are clarification and the removal of bitter tannins and phenolics. Colle Perle flocculates and settles well. Desirable aromas and flavors are retained while harsh characters are removed. It is particularly useful to optimize potential of hard pressed product. In white wines it can be used in conjunction with bentonite to compact lees. Dosage - Applied at a rate of 4 ml / gal. Usage: Juice - Dilute Colle Perle 1:1 in water. Add at the beginning of cold settling and mix evenly and completely throughout the juice. When used in juice Colle Perle should be used in conjunction with bentonite or Gelocolle to improve settling. Racking should be done after 1 week. Wine in Aging - Dilute Colle Perle 1:1 in water. Stir vigorously into the wine to ensure thorough distribution. Racking should be done after 1 week. Filtration is possible 48-72 hours after fining with Colle Perle.

Enartis Sil Floc is the winemaker’s go-to tool for finishing clarity Whether you’re refining a high-polish white wine or preparing reds for bottling, Sil Floc helps ensure visual brilliance and stable filtration performance The ultimate solution for finishing clarity without affecting the character of the wine Enartis Sil Floc is a high-purity, colloidal silica solution designed to enhance wine clarity, improve lees compaction, and optimize filterability. Used primarily as a counter-fining agent after the addition of protein-based fining products, Sil Floc works by aggregating fine suspended particles—creating compact, fast-settling lees without stripping aroma, flavor, or color. Key Benefits: Enhances clarity and brilliance Sil Floc captures fine haze-forming particles left behind by protein fining, resulting in a brighter, cleaner wine. Improves filtration performance By reducing colloidal load, Sil Floc helps prevent filter clogging and short runs, especially in wines with low settling potential. Ideal for post-fining use Use after gelatin, isinglass, or albumin to ensure complete clarification and prevent residual protein haze. Vegan, allergen-free, and organic-compliant A clean-label solution suitable for natural, organic, and low-intervention wines. Compatible with bentonite and other fining agents Integrates easily into clarification protocols and can reduce the amount of bentonite required. Application Recommendations: When to Add: After completion of protein fining Recommended Dosage: 10–40 mL/hL, depending on wine turbidity and fining history Preparation: Use as-is; stir gently into wine to ensure full dispersion Contact Time: Minimum 24 hours; allow full sedimentation before racking or filtration
