Most wines will clear naturally, but three things will help them to do so:
- (1) regular racking
- (2) mild sulphiting
- (3) the presence of tannin
It may seem strange to say that racking is an aid to clarification, but within a couple of days of racking, a further deposit of yeast will form at the bottom of the jar.
Mild sulphiting means one Campden tablet added to the gallon/4.5 litres jar at the first and second racking. This not only aids clarification, but minimizes the possibility of oxidation by dispersing the oxygen which has entered the wine during the racking process.
