Tartaric Acid 50g for home winemaking. The softest wine acid, naturally found in grapes. Corrects low acidity & improves bouquet. In stock at The Hop Shop.
Tartaric acid is the preferred acidity adjuster for most winemakers — the softest of the principal wine acids, and the one that occurs naturally in ripe grapes.
Use it to correct low acidity in grape wines and country wines, or to fine-tune the balance of a finished batch. Unlike citric or malic acid, tartaric integrates particularly well with alcohol, producing beneficial esters that enhance the bouquet over time.
Key Details
- Weight: 50g
- Best for: grape wine, country wine, and fruit wine acidity correction

Why Tartaric?
- The softest and most wine-appropriate of the main acids
- Combines with alcohol to produce esters that improve bouquet
- Offers stronger protection against contaminating organisms than malic or citric acid
- Excess tartaric will naturally precipitate as harmless bitartrate crystals when the wine is stored cool — a sign of a well-made wine
