Tartrate stabilization helps keep wines bright, clear, and free of the “wine diamonds” that consumers often perceive as a flaw. While traditional cold stabilization works, it can be time- and energy-consuming, and can affect aromatics and flavor. Today, there are smart, innovative stabilization solutions that eliminate the need for chilling while protecting wine quality and making cellar work easier. Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) CMC is a cellulose-based solution that acts by interfering with crystal growth. While traditional stabilization induces crystal formation, CMC prevents them from developing in the first place. It provides reliable stability without chilling and helps preserve pH, aroma, and flavor. CMC is a strong choice for white and rosé wines where clarity and freshness are priorities. Acacia Gum Acacia gum, made from the sap of Acacia trees, coats the tiny tartrate particles so they cannot grow into visible crystals. It also helps protect color, making it

In recent years, US trade policy developments – including broad tariffs and anti-dumping/countervailing duties – have disrupted global supply chains and increased costs across multiple industries. The wine and spirits sector, in particular, continues to experience the ripple effects of trade tensions involving key packaging sources such as China, Mexico, and Canada, along with ongoing tariffs on aluminum and steel. On April 2, 2025, President Trump invoked emergency trade powers under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), imposing a 10% “baseline” IEEPA tariff on most imported products from most countries, effective April 5. Higher tariff rates on imports from 57 countries were temporarily suspended for all but China, providing a 90-day reprieve. Meanwhile, China was subjected to 125% IEEPA reciprocal tariffs plus 20% IEEPA “fentanyl” tariffs, as well as any other applicable tariffs, such as the 25% China Section 301 tariffs initia

We are excited to introduce a new stave toast profile, Mineral Toast, designed to bring an enhanced sense of minerality to white and rosé wines. This innovative toast profile significantly impacts the sensory characteristics of wine, influencing its interaction with fruit and other elements during the winemaking process. Minerality in wine is often attributed to specific terroirs, rooted in the soil and environment where grapes are grown. While traditionally linked to the vine’s interaction with soil minerals, minerality can also be shaped by winemaking techniques—including the use of oak. Mineral Toast staves utilize carefully selected French Oak air-dried over an extended period. The wood undergoes hot water treatment to soften tannins and reduce harshness, followed by extended toasting at a lower temperature. The gentle process avoids the formation of high notes such as spice, smoke or char, resulting in a delicate profile featuring hints of vanilla, stone fruit,
