Filtration Services
We are VAF Memstar’s Victorian contractor and operate mobile winemaking filtration services using machines provided by them. These services include cross-flow filtration and volatile acidity reduction, alcohol adjustment, wine concentration and taint moderation by reverse osmosis. We also offer flash pasteurisation.
What We Offer
Crossflow Filtration
Crossflow Filtration
Crossflow Filtration
Cross-flow filtration is an efficient filtration method, which as a result of the wine flowing tangentially to filter membranes, creates lower pressure differentials than dead-end filtration methods (e.g. rack and plate). The
resulting filtration proves less impactful on wine quality, with minimal volume loss, and is often more time and
Cross-flow filtration is an efficient filtration method, which as a result of the wine flowing tangentially to filter membranes, creates lower pressure differentials than dead-end filtration methods (e.g. rack and plate). The
resulting filtration proves less impactful on wine quality, with minimal volume loss, and is often more time and cost-effective than other filtration methods. Membranes are rated to 0.2µm, resulting in sterile filtration.

Reverse Osmosis
Crossflow Filtration
Crossflow Filtration
Reverse osmosis (RO) involves the pressurised separation of molecules small enough to pass through a membrane with pores of a specified size, creating a stream of ‘permeate’ separate to the rest of the wine, or
‘concentrate’. With appropriate membranes, this means that molecules associated with particular wine characteristics can be is
Reverse osmosis (RO) involves the pressurised separation of molecules small enough to pass through a membrane with pores of a specified size, creating a stream of ‘permeate’ separate to the rest of the wine, or
‘concentrate’. With appropriate membranes, this means that molecules associated with particular wine characteristics can be isolated and removed from the wine. Our RO system is set up to facilitate volatile acidity
removal, alcohol adjustment, wine concentration and taint reduction.
Flash Pasteurisation
Crossflow Filtration
Flash Pasteurisation
Flash pasteurisation involves heating wine briefly to a high temperature before being rapidly cooled, to eradicate bacteria, yeast and enzymes which may represent risks to wine quality. The process can therefore help to
improve a wine’s shelf life and longevity. (Link) Contact us for a filtration quote today. Treatment can be conducted on-site at your winery, or in our facility.
