Smoke Taint Removal
Via Reverse Osmosis

Start of Smoke Taint
• In June and July 2008 - 54,817 acres were destroyed throughout Mendocino County.
• Fire burned for weeks without containment.
• Dense smoke & poor visibility throughout Mendocino, Lake and Northern Sonoma Counties, including some areas of Napa County

Management Options
• Unfortunately…… very little information is available• Some or lots of anecdotal information is available
• Customer did various trials with other vendors and chose Winesecrets based on Service and Experience
British Columbia Fire in 2003

Customer Case Study
• Customer experimented with press fractions and Processed all affected white grapes with the following regime
• White Wine Free Run - free of smoke taint: – 135 Gallons / Ton
– Resulting in large amount of press wine to be processed

Red wine • Obviously More Difficult
• Eliminating Skin Contact Not an Option
• Containment– Separating press fractions and delay blending
• Keep known smoke free lots separate• Wait post ML to evaluate for treatment

Dealing with press fractions
• Ultra filtration of press wine:Experimented with 10k (MWCO)
10k:• Removed color and harsh phenolics retained
varietal character• Created neutral but very useable wine
Press fraction ready for RO treatment Up to 2 passes or less!!!

Red Wine RO Treatment
• Wine should be clean < 50 NTU – XF Filtration?• Processed prior to barrel aging• Red vs. White ……It’s a slower Process!!
– Most challenging lots were red wines– Worst case: 10 passes on RO
• Tasted at least daily/more on smaller lots– Treated enough to remove taint– Didn’t over treat, risk stripping wine

Empowering the CustomerOur pride & specialty !
• After the initial Start –up face and completion of UF work we trained our customer to run our equipment.
• This lead to reduced cost per Gallon and more freedom in scheduling
• Winesecrets trained cellar staff and managed integration of the technology into cellar production

Challenges when tasting your wines
• Smoke characteristics carry over to next sample• Difficult to distinguish sample to sample – need a break• Slow to pick up “Post Nasal” - ST can show up 30 sec –
1 min. after tasting• Use a good control – 2006/07• Taste in the morning…. If you can

Final conclusion regarding Smoke and Mirrors
• Since 2003 we have treated so far over 1.5 Mil gallons of wine
• Smoke taint removal works just fine • No re-occurrence…. Not on processed wine or in the
vineyards• All vendors use RO based membrane technology• Pressure vary from 250psi to 600/700psi – depending on
wine• Filter media is the key difference next to customer
Service (wrong media = negative effects/stripping)
