Ellagitan Grand Rouge

A multi-purpose tannin to be used from vinification to refinement.

Tannins play a fundamental role in the fermentation of red wines as they enhance color stabilization, have an antioxidant effect and add aromatic nuances to the wine. The innovative feature of Ellagitan Grand Rouge is that it can be used during vinification and post fermentation. It is a highly purified tannin and therefore reactive with oxygen to yield excellent quality organoleptic properties during maturation and finishing.

Ellagitan Grand Rouge combines good aromatic sensation with excellent support for fermentation aromas, which complex with the aromatic properties of oak to create a sophisticated, persistent bouquet. The use of this tannin during vinification helps preserve the anthocyanins by favoring polymerization with endogenous and exogenous tannins and also during maturation. The distinctive mellowness combined with great reactivity makes it possible to make additions during wine refining in order to enhance the taste and give body to the wine. Ellagitan Grand Rouge also prevents the onset of reduced notes and helps eliminate them without affecting the aromatic properties of the wine.
