Tackling Low Tannin Content

We've heard concerns from fellow winemakers regarding lower tannin content than usual and are eager to discuss our winemaking recommendations and solutions. We have effective tools to help you managing wine’s tannin profile and address low tannin content.

1- Protect Tanin Potantial with Pro Tanin R - Instantly Soluble Proanthocyanidic Tannin

Pro Tanin R serves as a sacrificial tannin, preventing losses of phenolic compounds due to protein reaction and oxidation reactions. It effectively inhibits oxidative enzymes like PPO and laccase, particularly valuable for safeguarding grape’s compounds in botrytized grapes. Additionally, Pro Tanin R aids in the clarification of red wines. For further details, click here.

2- Stabilize Tanin Potantial with Softan Vinification - Catechic Tannins Bounded to Plant Polysaccharides.

Softan® Vinification is a unique product that associates grape tannins to plant polysaccharides. The tannins, rich in catechins and low in acid phenols (precursors of ethyl phenols), are highly reactive with other phenolic compounds such as anthoycanins. The polysaccharides improve mouthfeel, and promote colloïdal and color stability. Softan® Vinification is highly efficient in stabilizing color and improves mouthfeel, wine length and mid palate structure. For additional information, please click here.

3 - Compensate and Preserve Tannin Compounds with Vinitan Advance® - Instantly soluble, 100% grape tannins, purified of acid phenol (precursors of ethyl phenols).

We recommend to add 5 g/hL at draining to build up your phenolic pool and improve phenolic balance. Vinitan Advance® is a great tool to compensate for low tannin potential, improve color stability, protect against premature color loss and increase aging potential.
