Features and Benefits
- Formulation: Mix of pea proteins (Pisium sativum), Polyvinylpolypyrolidone (E1202), granulated activated charcoal, and calcium bentonite.
- Enological benefits:
- Pea protein and PVPP are both highly effective at removing certain phenolic compounds. When used with enological carbon, heavy oxidations are easily treated.
- GreenFine® Intense decreases the color, bitterness, and off-flavors (moldy/green notes).
- The composition of GreenFine® Intense helps to ensure good sedimentation and compaction of must solids and lees.
Product Applications
Dissolve in 10 times its weight of warm water, then add into the tank during a pump over in order to obtain perfect homogenization. GreenFine® Intense is a clarification agent for static treatment or flotation.
Dosage:
- Preventive treatment: 15 to 30 g/hL
- Curative treatment: up to 120 g/hL
Maximum dosage rate (OIV recommendation): 120 g/hL. Contains 20% of granulated activated charcoal. The use of oenological carbon is subject to specific regulations: refer to the applicable regulation. Additions of oenological carbon must be recorded in a register (REC 436/2009 art. 41 and 42). The regulation EC 606/2009 prohibits the use of charcoal on finished wine (red or rosé).
