About Our Tannins

Tannins for structure, stability, and balance.

BVNA partners with Lamothe-Abiet to offer a tannin range that supports structure, stability, and sensory balance at every stage of winemaking, from colour stabilization and oxidation protection to mouthfeel and aromatic integration. Phenolic compounds shape colour, texture, stability, longevity, and aroma, and each tannin is selected by its origin and reactivity to fine-tune the wine.

Common Questions

Questions about our tannins.

  • Vinification tannins are added during or immediately after fermentation, for antioxidant protection, colour stabilisation, and laccase inhibition. Maturation tannins are added during aging to build structure, roundness, and integrate oak character.

  • Yes. Vinitan Advance is 100% grape-derived and adds structure without introducing oak character or astringency, ideal for fruit-forward wines.

  • Tannins such as Tannin Gallique à l'Alcool scavenge oxygen and inhibit laccase, the enzyme responsible for enzymatic browning in botrytis-affected fruit.

  • Tan&Sense Forte (100% toasted oak) and Vinitan Advance are both recommended for premium red wine aging programs.

  • Yes. They improve clarification and protein stability, inhibit oxidative enzymes, and act as an antioxidant. We recommend Tannin Gallique à l'Alcool, developed specifically for whites and rosés.

  • Yes. Over-astringency is often a tannin imbalance. Adding refined, highly polymerized tannins can correct it and reduce the perception of astringency or bitterness, often improving fruit perception. Bench trials are recommended. Tan&Sense Volume, Tan&Sense Origin, and Tan&Sense Expression are good choices, and yeast mannoproteins can also help.
