Features and Benefits

Formulation: Specific combination with proanthocyanidic tannins, grape tannins, and ellagic tannins (stave quality oak).

Oenological benefits:

  • Tan’Excellence® is the result of rigorous selection of the best tannins for optimal results when used after fermentation and throughout maturation. It promotes the balance and elegance of top-quality red wines.
  • Helps to prepare red wines for maturation after fermentation: stabilises the colour (binding free anthocyanins), prevents premature oxidation, and reinforces and balances the tannic structure.
  • During aging, Tan’Excellence® can be used for managing wines’ redox potential, as well as for balancing the structure, complexity, and length on the palate, without adding bitterness.
  • Improves the cellaring potential of top-quality red wines.

Product Applications

Instantly soluble, Tan’Excellence® is ready to use. Dissolve 10 times its weight in wine or water. Add into the tank during a pump-over or during a transfer in order to achieve perfect homogenisation.

Dosage:

  • End of fermentation: 5 to 30 g/hL
  • During aging: 5 to 20 g/hL

The dosage of tannins depends on each type of wine and winemaking imperatives to be achieved. Take advice from your oenologist in order to comply with the oenological codex (OIV).
