The Science of Selective Sulphite™ Technology: How Üllo Purifies Wine

Wine lovers often encounter the term “contains sulphites” on their favourite bottles. While sulphites play an important role in preserving wine, they can also suppress its natural flavours and cause unwanted reactions for some drinkers. That’s where Üllo’s Selective Sulphite™ technology comes in—a revolutionary innovation designed to remove sulphites and restore wine to its natural state.

In this post, we’ll explore the science behind Üllo’s Selective Sulphite™ technology, how it works, and why it’s changing the way we experience wine.

What Are Sulphites, and Why Are They Added to Wine?

Sulphites, or sulphur dioxide (SO₂), are chemical compounds that occur naturally during wine fermentation. Winemakers also add sulphites to protect wine from spoilage, oxidation, and bacterial contamination. They act as preservatives, ensuring the wine remains stable from production to consumption.

However, sulphites can also have drawbacks:

• They may suppress the natural flavours and aromas of wine.
• Some people are sensitive to sulphites, experiencing symptoms like headaches, congestion, or skin irritation.
• They can overshadow the nuanced characteristics that make each wine unique.

Üllo was created to solve these issues, offering a way to enjoy wine as the winemaker intended—without artificial sulphites interfering with the taste or experience.

Understanding Selective Sulphite™ Technology

At the heart of Üllo’s wine purification process is its patented Selective Sulphite™ technology. This innovative material removes artificial sulphites from wine while leaving its natural compounds untouched, ensuring the integrity of the wine remains intact.

How It Works

The science behind Üllo’s Selective Sulphite™ technology is both elegant and effective. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:

• Each Üllo filter is crafted from a food-grade, highly porous polymer that targets and binds to sulphites.
• When wine passes through the filter, the sulphites are removed through a process called covalent attachment. This means the sulphite molecules form a strong bond with the filter material and are effectively eliminated from the wine.
• The filter selectively removes sulphites without altering the wine’s natural compounds, such as polyphenols, tannins, and organic acids. These are the elements that give wine its flavour, aroma, and complexity.

The Benefits of Using Selective Sulphite™ Technology

Üllo’s wine purification process offers numerous advantages for wine enthusiasts:
