Default why does sorbet split?

Sometimes when we make sorbet its splits. I assume its the sugar & the ice crystals which seperate from eachother, but am not sure. Does anyone know why this happens?
It happens whether I use liquid glucose or not. The only solution to it I have found so far is to churn it fresh for service. Hope anyone can help!

I just use the zest & juice of lemons, 1.5l water & 1kg sugar. I boil the syrup for about 10 minutes let it cool & then add juice & zest. I leave it to infuse overnight in the fridge & pass & churn in the morning. Is this a granite and not a sorbet then? Oh, sometimes I add a couple of shots of vodka. I store it at -18C
