Features and Benefits
Formulation: Pure oak tannins from stave quality.
Enological benefits:
- Tan&Sense® Forte is a high-quality ellagitannin used to bolster wines’ structure, improve their length, and enhance the intensity of the end palate.
- Can be used on white, rosé, or red wines, particularly those fermented or matured in barrel (synergy with oak ellagitannins).
- At the beginning of maturation, it helps to balance wines and manage their redox potential.
Product Applications
Instantly soluble, Tan&Sense® Forte is ready to use. Dissolve in 10 times its weight in water. Add into the tank during a pump-over or during a transfer in order to achieve perfect homogenisation. It can be used during ageing or a few weeks before bottling.
Dosage:
- Red wines: 1 to 10 g/hL
- Rosé and white wines: 0.5 to 3 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.
