Description

  • Rapid hydration and minimal dust for easy preparation and cleaner processing
  • Exceptional protein removal capacity for wine, juice, and cider clarification
  • Highly effective at low dosages, reducing volume loss and preserving aromas
  • Thermally activated for consistent swelling and dispersion performance
  • Low sodium formulation minimizes impact on wine flavor and stability

AEB Bentogran is a premium, granulated sodium bentonite specifically engineered for efficient clarification and protein stabilization in wine, juice, and cider. Unlike powdered bentonites that are dusty and slow to hydrate, Bentogran’s granulated form allows for rapid dispersion, low dust, and easy handling — making cellar operations cleaner and more efficient. Its high swelling capacity and selective adsorption enable excellent clarity with minimal stripping of aromas and color. Thermally activated and quality-controlled by AEB, Bentogran ensures consistent performance in a wide range of wine styles.

Usage Protocol

  • Slowly sprinkle Bentogran into 10x its weight in clean, room-temperature water while stirring.
  • Allow to hydrate for at least 4 hours (or ideally overnight).
  • Stir again before use to ensure uniform suspension.
  • Add to must or wine during fermentation or post-fermentation, depending on clarification needs.
  • Mix thoroughly into the tank and allow settling for 24–72 hours before racking or filtration.
