Type: Special grape tannin for colour stabilisation and polyphenol polymerisation.
Characteristics:
- Pinnacle Seed Tan is the perfect tool to support micro-oxygenation as it promotes polymerisation and stabilisation of polyphenolanthocyanin by ethyl bridge mechanism.
- Pinnacle Seed Tan stabilises colour by naturally integrating the polyphenolic structure of wines while reversing the oxidation process.
- Pinnacle Seed Tan is very reactive with sulphured compounds and removes ethanethiol, methanethiol and their precursors (ethyl-thioacetate, methyl-thioacetate).
- Pinnacle Seed Tan compensates natural grape tannin deficiency and decreases astringency of the wine.
Application:
- Pinnacle Seed Tan can be used to support the ageing process of red wines or to add immediate structure and concentration at pre-bottling.
- Pinnacle Seed Tan decreases reductive notes that can occur in case of late racking.
- Pinnacle Seed Tan improves low body red wines made from unripe grapes with a more balanced polyphenolic structure and greater palate length.
Formulation:
Proanthocyanidins (grape seed) and ellagic tannins (chestnut).
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 Seed Tan we recommend dissolving in wine (1:10 ratio) or in warm water before adding to the wine.
Dosage:
Suggested dosage from 1-15 g/hL; depends on wine concentration, winemaking step and expected results.
Storage conditions: Store the product in a fresh, dry, well ventilated room.
Shelf life: Five years from date of manufacture.
