For Premium White Wine Fermentation
Wine was aged in egg-shaped amphorae in ancient times. In recent years, fermentation has been tested in various forms in viticulture.
Speidel has now developed a stainless steel fermenter that combines the advantages of the egg shape with the advantages of a stainless steel tank with a unique design. The Black Eye looks like a space satellite from the outside and provides a gentle and well controllable fermentation inside. Due to its unique shape, the yeast can circulate smoothly during the fermentation phase. It is assumed that this free circulation is an advantage for the fermentation process and thus for the entire aroma spectrum. In contrast to a concrete fermentation vessel, the Black Eye guarantees the necessary hygiene. Thanks to the perfect welding seams and the highly smooth inner walls, the fermenting chamber is also very easy to clean.

Organic Fining Aid for Juice & Wine
Recommended for all juices, musts and wines, plus cider and all kinds of fruit fermentations
- Elimination of undesirable phenolics in juice and wine
- Improves sensory characteristics of wines from stressed fermentations
- Removes inhibitory medium chain fatty acids in must and young wines (e.g. C12-C20)
- Can notably reduce the content of volatile phenols (e.g. Brettanomyces)
- Binds many pesticide residues and mycotoxins with inhibitory effects on fermentation
- Can reduce sulphur off-flavours in young wines
- Can be used for colour correction in white, rosé and sparkling wines
- Ideal for increasing the internal surface with heavily pre-clarified musts (e.g. flotation)
- Highly purified so no negative impact on sensory characters
- Helps prevents stuck or sluggish fermentations
- Certified organic (regulation EC 834/2007 and 889/2008)
