We asked Leo McCloskey, Larry Brooks, and a dozen winemakers, ' have used this fining agent over Solugel and Gelsol (slight spelling difference) and prefer the Gelisol, largley because clients are successful in their mission to remove tannins. One caveat, like all fining agents it does remove some valuable aromatics and color. Rates required are high...." | |

This is not a great agent for red wines in our experience. We have watched the result of using this fining agent instead of Silver Leaf Gelatin, bulk gelatin or GelSol. It has consistently yielded no result when it comes to reducing red wine tannins. In essence winemakers may find that this agent causes more problems than it solves. | |
