Features and Benefits

Enological benefits:
- Helps to reveal aromas in white, rosé, and red wines.

Product Applications
Dissolve in 10 times its weight of wine, then add into the tank during a pump over or during a transfer in order to obtain a perfect homogenization. Softan® Finition should be used during aging. Earlier addition is appropriate to benefit from the effects on colour stabilisation.
Dosage:
- White and rosé wines: 1 to 3 g/hL
- Red wines: 5 to 10 g/hL
The dosage of tannins depends on each type of wine and winemaking imperatives to be achieved. Preliminary tests are necessary to comply with the oenological codex (OIV).
Impact on filtration: Softan® Finition contains protective colloids which may influence filtration. Optimum filterability should be ensured before addition. On wines with a CFLA < 10, the product can be added up to 48 hours before bottling.
Lamothe-Abiet provides single-dose samples (for one bottle) to simplify the calculation of the treatment.
