Type: Special tannin used to fine-tune wine ageing.
Characteristics:
- Pinnacle HT Tan is a complex ellagic tannin extracted from toasted French oak.
- Pinnacle HT Tan can be added at any time (ageing, after MLF or pre-bottling) and it reinforces red wines with sweet and well balanced tannic notes.
Application:
- By instantly increasing ellagic tannins concentration in wine, Pinnacle HT Tan improves barrel effect and mimics ageing in new highly toasted barrel.
- Pinnacle HT Tan is great tool to get richer aromatic red wines with more complex and persistent palate.
Formulation: Toasted tannins water-extracted from French oak Quercus petrea, plant-based polysaccharides (E 414) as stabilisers.
Instructions for use:
After fermentation from racking-off to pre-bottling.
Granulated form provides total solubility so direct addition in must is possible. However, to better homogenise and optimise action of Pinnacle HT Tan we recommend dissolving in wine (1:10 ratio) or in warm water before adding to the wine.
Dosage:
Suggested dosage 1-5 g/hL.
Before MLF: 3-4 g/hL to better integrate the tannins and mimic MLF in barrel.
Fine-tuning before bottling: 2 g/hL.
Storage conditions: Store the product in a fresh, dry, well ventilated room.
