Type: 100% specific inactivated yeast for early color stabilization and smoothing effect.
Characteristics: Pinnacle Ferm MP is an organic (ammonium salt-free) yeast derivate:
Slow release of amino acids regulates fermentation and gives a fresher aromatic profile (floral). The lysis of yeast cell walls releases mannoproteins. High molecular weight mannoproteins interact with polyphenols and form stable soluble complexes which preserve colour and increase mouthfeel.
Pinnacle Ferm MP provides mouthfeel, colour stabilisation and nutrition at the same time.
Application:
Pinnacle Ferm MP is a great tool for all red wines to:
- Stabilize the color
- Round green/harsh tannins
- Integrate the structure of full bodied red wines.
Pinnacle Ferm MP does not interfere with the varietal aromatic expression of the wine and provides a brighter red color.
Pinnacle Ferm MP is ideal for high quality wine to be aged in wood, or to shorten the wine ageing step (e.g. early bottled wines or large volumes in bulk).
Formulation:
Yeast autolysate*, yeast* cell walls (*Saccharomyces cerevisiae).
Instructions for use:
Pinnacle Ferm MP does not require any rehydration. Its granulated form allows a direct addition into the must.
Add Pinnacle Ferm MP at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation directly into the vessel.
A higher dose* is required for wines with more structure and higher concentrations in polyphenols. (*Second addition during pump-over or devatting step).
Dosage: 25-40 g/hL.
Maximum dosage allowed by EU: 40 g/hL.
