Vintner’s Harvest Potassium Sorbate – 50g

Vintner’s Harvest Potassium Sorbate is a wine stabiliser used after fermentation to help prevent remaining yeast from multiplying and restarting fermentation when residual sugar or backsweetening is present.

Potassium sorbate does not reliably stop an active fermentation. Allow fermentation to finish, rack or clarify the wine, and stabilise before sweetening or bottling.

What to use with this stabiliser

Use it with an appropriate sulphite addition such as HBC Campden Tablets, following the directions for both products and your wine recipe.

Pack guidance: add ½ teaspoon per 5 litres after sulphite treatment. Do not use sorbate in a wine intended to undergo malolactic fermentation.

Smaller pack option

For an occasional batch, compare the 10g Potassium Sorbate stabiliser.

Do not use either product to try to stop an active ferment. Confirm fermentation is complete and follow the selected sorbate, sulphite and recipe directions.
