While calcium crystals are beautiful, they cause issues for winemakers. ENOCRISTAL Ca is micronized calcium tartrate that triggers the formation of calcium tartrate crystals and promotes calcium stability.
The precipitation of calcium tartrate is a phenomenon becoming more
frequent due to increased concentrations of Ca++ in must and rising
pH levels as a result of climate change.
The need to improve winery processes for environmental sustainability and the continual increase in wine production costs necessitates the careful evaluation of all enological practices.

Precipitation of calcium tartrate is becoming more frequent all over the world and causing both economic and brand damage that companies should be aware of.
Download the leafletTartaric stabilization is a fundamental step in the winemaking process: eliminate or prevent the formation of potassium bitartrate crystals while preserving organoleptic characteristics, structure and color of wine. Whether white, red, or rosé, tartaric stabilization is a complex process crucial to maintaining the wine’s quality.

Read the newsletterHigh temperatures accelerate grape ripening, leading to an imbalance between acidity and pH. However, maintaining acidity is of paramount importance for multiple aspects as it helps wine retain its freshness and vibrancy. Tartaric acid (along with tannins, other acids, and polysaccharides) is an essential component that contributes to overall balance.
