The purpose is to obtain tartaric stability of the wine with regard to potassium hydrogen tartrate and calcium tartrate (and other calcium salts).
The treatment must be limited to the elimination of excess cations.
The wine must first of all be cooled.
Only the minimum fraction of wine necessary to obtain stability must be treated with cation exchangers.
The treatment is to be carried out on acid-regenerated cation-exchanger resins.
All the operations are to be carried out under the responsibility of an oenologist or qualified technician. The treatment must be recorded in the register referred to in Article 112(2) of Regulation (EC) No 479/2008.
The cationic resins used must comply with the requirements of Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1), the Community and national provisions adopted thereunder and the analytical requirements laid down in Appendix 4 to this Regulation. Their use must not excessively modify the physico-chemical composition or the organoleptic characteristics of the wine and must comply with the limits set out in point 3 of the International Oenological Codex monograph ‘Cation-exchange resins’ published by the OIV.
