Product Applications

Dosage:
- Red wines: 1 to 15 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).
Lamothe-Abiet provides single-dose samples (for one bottle) to simplify the calculation of the treatment.
