At the end of the winemaking process, yeast is removed to avoid spoiling of flavour and to leave the wine with a clear, crisp appearance.
The process to remove yeast is usually performed by introducing diatomaceous (kieselguhr) earth into the fermented wine. The fine particles of diatomaceous earth attract the yeast cells to form clumps, which remain in a suspension referred to as yeast slurry.…
