Description
Vinoferm Benton – granulated calcium bentonite for fining wine
Vinoferm Benton is a special-quality bentonite in granulated form with a very high absorbing capacity. It is used for fining wine and for pre-clarification of wine and juice (must), and can also be used in beer. Bentonite binds proteins, polyphenols and tannins so they settle out, leaving a clearer and more stable drink.
How to use Benton
- Dose: 1–2 g per litre
- Dissolve the bentonite in 5 times its own volume of water
- Leave to swell for 3–5 hours
- Pour off the excess water and dilute with a little of the wine to be fined
- Stir well, then mix the solution thoroughly into the entire quantity of must or wine
Frequently asked questions about Vinoferm Benton
Why must bentonite swell before use?
Bentonite works best once it has absorbed water. It should therefore always be soaked for 3–5 hours before it is added.
How much bentonite should I use?
The recommended dose is 1–2 g per litre of wine or juice.
Can Benton be used in beer?
Yes. Calcium bentonite is used for fining wine, beer and juice, and for reducing proteins, polyphenols and tannins.
