Each fining agent should be used for its intended purpose; and lab tests should be performed in order to determine the proper amount for the required task.

FINING AGENT
A pure substance that may be added to wine for the purpose of removing some undesirable natural component that occurs in excess.
Fining: The act of clarifying or removing undesirable components from wine. This is usually done by adding a pure material that has the property of reacting with and removing the undesired component.
Fining - this is done by adding a fining agent to the wine which causes the lees to fall to the bottom from where they can be racked off. The main fining agent for white wine is a clay called Bentonite.
FINING: A method of clarifying a wine by adding to it an inert or a soluble substance which becomes insoluble by interaction with tannin and settles down to the bottom, pulling suspended matter down with it.
Fining
Milk, egg whites, gelatin and/or clay are among a wide range of 'fining agents' that can be used in tiny quantities in this winemaking process that clarifies the colour of a wine and reduces tannins and phenolic characters.

From what I can gather, the main reason is that the type of grape isn't the defining factor of the wine.

Tired
Worn-out, past its prime, describing a wine that is fading. Wines can also be tired from traveling or being subjected to treatments such as racking and fining; these wines recover with rest.
Several processes may be employed to give the wine clarity: fining and filtration for example. Shortly after fermentation has ended, the wine is transferred to a settling tank where filtration and other clarification techniques may be used.
Many of the processes such as fining, filtration, and handling still have issues in need of qualification and regulation. Then again, the term, organic, may carry a negative stigma in marketing that wineries want to avoid.
