Clayrity is developing an innovative material-based platform for more efficient wine fining and targeted purification.
Its first product, Switch™, is designed as an alternative to conventional bentonite fining for white and rosé wines. The technology significantly reduces wine trapped in lees, enabling wineries to recover 5-14% more clarified wine/must, while maintaining wine quality and organoleptic properties. Switch™ has been validated in winery-scale pilot trials and is designed to integrate into existing winery processes without requiring changes to equipment or standard operating procedures. Building on the same technology platform, Clayrity is developing a second product for the selective removal of unwanted compounds from wine, including histamine and methoxypyrazine. Clayrity is seeking a strategic industry partner, with preference for acquisition of the company and technology. Alternatively, the company is open to a strategic investment to fund continued development and commercialization.
