EnartisTan Superoak is a tannin specifically designed for addition during maturation. Its balanced blend of oak and condensed tannins makes it well-suited to improve color stabilization of red wines and is designed to be used during micro-oxygenation.
The sensory profile is characterized by distinct sensations of volume and softness as well as light aromas of toasted oak. EnartisTan Superoak is effective in releasing aromas of wines that have been aged in barrels and to freshen light red and white wines.
Composition: Oak tannin and condensed tannin extracted from exotic species wood.
Dosage:
- White wine: 5 - 10 g/hL (0.4-0.8 lb/1,000 gal)
- Red and rosé wine: 5 - 20 g/hL (0.4-1.7 lb/1,000 gal)
Instructions to use:
Dissolve EnartisTan Superoak at a 1:10 ratio in water or wine while mixing continuously. Add to wine during a pump-over with a dosage pump or Venturi tube.
When used in wine, performing laboratory trials is advised to evaluate the sensory impact of the tannin and determine the best dosage.
While it is recommended to add EnartisTan Superoak during the early stages of wine maturation, it can be added as late as 1-2 weeks prior to bottling. When added close to bottling, it is important to evaluate the effect on filterability and protein and colloidal stability by completing preliminary laboratory trials.
