Overview • Case study approach • Needs for fining/clarification depend on the components responsible for the haze/flavor attributes • Winemaking approach often will dictate the specific need (or lack thereof) for fining
Diamond Muscat • Released in 2000 as an early season white seedless • Has potential for high yields • Typically a raisin (Golden Muscat) or table grape • Has potential for wine or concentrate production
