Siha Weinkalk Spezial (Eaton)

Siha wine lime specialty 

Specialty Siha wine lime from the manufacturer Eaton is a calcium carbonate (CaCO3) selected for stabilization for the deacidification of grape musts and wines. It is preferably used for simple deacidification, i.e. the removal of tartaric acid.

SIHA wine lime special stabilizer is usually used at the must stage to reduce high tartaric acid content. It has a particularly favourable effect on immature and very acidic musts, but also the deacidification of young wine is possible. Only the tartaric acid content is precipitated. For taste reasons, the must should contain at least 1 – 1.5 g/l of tartaric acid and at least 0.5 g/l of wine. The proportion of tartaric acid depends on the vintage, it is strongly influenced by climatic conditions, location and grape variety. With a low tartaric acid content in the total acidity, with an overall high deacidification requirement or an unfavorable wine/malic acid ratio, the double salt deacidification with SIHADEX® special lime for deacidification leads to better results in terms of taste. Here, too, the applicable legal regulations and regulations must be observed.
