We love Sediment and Crystals in Wine

Wine is alive, filled with lots of wonderful organic elements which adds to its unique character, aromas, and flavours. Wine is also chemistry at work, and with so many winemaking styles out there, you’re bound to stumble upon some delightful science experiments that might leave behind a little more than you’ve bargained for in your wine bottle or glass.

Wine is a dynamic, natural beverage after all, that is meant to change and transform over time. One year it will be quite showy and effusive, the next shy and retreat, followed the next year by something quite different than before. Sediment in wine is evidence of this native ability to change.

We’re here to tell you that sediment and crystals in wine is a good thing. In fact, int’s not just a good thing, it’s a great thing!
