“High vanilla” French-oak tannins

Ideal Use: Introduction of barrel aroma and tannin into red and white wines

Ellagitan Barrique Liquid is extracted from highly toasted oak wood. The seasoning process exceeds two years, and is identical to the technique used when producing the most prized barrels. The innovative physical system used for the extraction and concentration of this tannin, protects and keeps intact all the aromatic and smooth characteristics of prized French oak. This tannin never sees the solid phase and, by not going through the spray drying process, the aromatics from the French oak are kept intact. The stability of the product is achieved by RO concentration. Ellagitan Barrique Liquid prolongs aromatic persistency, improves the mellowness of wines and integrates their aromatic complexity with delicate nuances reminiscent of chocolate and vanilla. Ellagitan Barrique Liquid increases the efficiency of used barrels optimizing containers utilization. This product offers numerous advantages over Oak Chips: it is immediately soluble, does not release undesirable substances, such as resins or bitter compounds, and inhibits bacteria and mold contamination. Furthermore, there is no wine loss due to wood absorption. The product may contain inert solids that will deposit over time. This insolubilization does not compromise the quality or quantity of the product.

Directions for use: Dilute in ten parts of wine and add to mass by pumping over or mixer. Allow at least a week before filtering.

Dosage: 1/2 - 4 lbs/1000 gal (6-50 ml/hl)

Blend of grape tannin extracted from seed of white grapes ,condensed tannin extracted from exotic wood species, chestnut tannin.

ENARTIS TAN FRUITAN is a blend of condensed tannins, many extracted from fresh, physiologically-ripe, white grape seeds. These proanthocyanidinic tannins interact with anthocyanins (the molecule responsible for color in red wines) binding them and protecting them from oxidation. The use of ENARTIS TAN FRUITAN during fermentation on skins, or immediately after alcoholic fermentation allows for better color retention and improved color stability over time. ENARTIS TAN FRUITAN increases the body and fresh fruit character of wine, as well as increasing overall wine aromatics. ENARTIS TAN FRUITAN can also mask excessive astringency which may reduce the need for further finings.

APPLICATIONS
Red and rosé wines
During fermentation and immediately after malo-lactic fermentation
To stabilize the color of red wines and rosés.
During wine maturation
To improve structure and aromatic complexity
To refresh aromas and enhance fruit notes
To mask vegetal character

Enartis Tan Uva

A proanthocyanidinic extract obtained from mature white grape seeds. Its addition to must or wine immediately after primary fermentation facilitates an earlier formation of polymeric pigments from tannins and pigments. In white wines, its ability to eliminate unstable proteins can reduce the quantity of bentonite necessary to achieve stability. Moreover, its addition enhances fruit aromas and improves structure, mouthfeel and complexity of white, red and rosé wines. Additionally, it can mask astringency in some red wines, helping to avoid or to reduce the use of fining agents.

Application: Color stabilization; increase structure and fruit notes.

Dosage: 3-10 g/hL (0.25-0.8 lb/1,000 gal)

Liquid tannin for color stabilization in fermenting musts.

Ideal Use: Color stabilization and tannin structuring of red musts.

Fermotan is a highly reactive tannin developed for quick reaction with colored pigments. Fermotan is a combination of 40% ellagic and 60% proanthocyanin tannins, which, when added during fermentation, rapidly stabilizes red wine color and optimizes the level of noble tannins. Fermotan should be added during the first phase of fermentation, when color is released and needs to be stabilized. This normally happens in the first few days of maceration. Later additions of Fermotan will also benefit color stability and structure. This product is available both in liquid and powdered form.

Utilization: Mix in a separate tub with must or water and then add to the fermenting must during pump over

Dosage: 15 - 80 mL/hL (1 - 6 lbs/1000 gal) in red must

Protection from oxidation
Scott’TanTM FT Blanc tannin is a white gall nut tannin specifically formulated for use on grapes with mold or rot (e.g. Botrytis). It helps protect juice from browning by acting as an anti-oxidant and inhibiting laccase activity. On sound grapes FT Blanc is an effective anti-oxidant when used with SO2. In protein rich varieties, such as Sauvignon Blanc, FT Blanc can help remove proteins. In some wines it will also contribute notes of minerality.

To Use: Add FT Blanc by sprinkling directly on the grapes at the crusher or by adding to the juice or the wine during a tank mixing. Good homogeni­zation is important. If an addition of FT Blanc is made post-fermentation, we recommend waiting 3-6 weeks after the tannin addition before racking, fining, filtering or bottling.

Storage: Dated expiration. Unopened the shelf life is 5 years at 18ºC(65ºF). Once opened keep tightly sealed and dry.

Promotion of color, body and fruit
Scott’TanTM FT Rouge is a proprietary tannin specifically formulated for the North American market. It is a blend of highly reactive tannins derived from exotic woods and chestnut. The addition of FT Rouge at the beginning of red wine fermentation helps preserve the grapes’ natural tannins so they can combine with anthocyanins to cre­ate optimal stable color. Mouthfeel is also enhanced. FT Rouge provides anti-oxidative protection and will inhibit oxidative enzymes (such as laccase) associated with browning.

To Use: Gradually sprinkle FT Rouge directly on grapes at the crusher or add to the must during a pump-over to obtain good homogenization. If subse­quent additions of FT Rouge are desired, this can be done in increments of 0.5 lb/1000 gal (63 ppm) during pump-overs. If an addition of FT Rouge (or FT Rouge Soft) is made post-fermentation, we recommend wait­ing 3-6 weeks after the tannin addition before racking, fining, filtering or bottling.

Storage: Dated expiration. Unopened the shelf life is 5 years at 18ºC(65ºF). Once opened keep tightly sealed and dry.

May be used during fermentation of chardonnay or other white wines. For color protection in reds, add after ML fermentation. For finishing mouthfeel / flavor adjustments add 2 weeks prior bottling.

Suggested use levels: 1Liter in 1,000 - 10,000 Liters (70% less in white wines)

Proanthocyanidinic tannin extracted from Malbec seeds.

Ideal Use: Give a sweet but strong backbone structure to red and white wines

Throughout history, the wines from Bordeaux have enjoyed the soft and important structure brought by the proanthocyanidins derived from Malbec grapes. It was only after the frost of 1956 that many French vintners abandoned Malbec as a favorite blending component for structure. Protan Malbec provides wineries with the same component that has been the base of the Bordeaux blends, proanthocyanidinic tannin from Malbec. This tannin is now making the fortune of Argentinean wineries. Its proanthocyanidinic nature helps build a good structure and promotes polymerization of color and proanthocyanidins.

Utilization: Mix in warm water (35 °C/95 °F) or wine and add directly to circulating tank or barrel to enhance crispiness and to fix “flat” and “doughnut” wines. After the addition, wait at least one week before filtering the wine.

Dosage:
Whites: 3 - 12 g/hL (1/4-1 lbs/1000 gallons)
Reds: 12 - 25 g/hL (1-2 lbs/1000 gallons)

ABOUT PROTAN PÉPIN OXILINK
