Versatile and effective — citric acid adjusts wine acidity, inhibits oxidation, and keeps your equipment sparkling clean.
Citric acid is a naturally occurring fruit acid with multiple applications in home winemaking. In wine, it can increase titratable acidity and add a bright, fresh flavour note. It's also an effective cleaner for removing calcium and mineral deposits from carboys, bottles, and equipment when used as a dilute rinse. Additionally, small additions can help inhibit iron-based browning in white wines.

Winemaker's Tip: Use citric acid sparingly in wine — too much creates a harsh, tart flavour that's difficult to correct. For general acidity adjustment, Acid Blend provides a more balanced result.
For balanced acidity adjustment, pair with or substitute Acid Blend.
