Pinnacle Natura Tan 1kg

Type: Ellagic tannin for wine ageing.

Characteristics:

Pinnacle Natura Tan provides a stable anti-oxidative environment to the wine for a quality ageing process.

Pinnacle Natura Tan releases sweet and complex soft tannins, enhancing fruity flavors and volume of the wine.

Application:

• Pinnacle Natura Tan can be added at any time. When used during ageing, after malolactic and/or pre-bottling, it reinforces white, rosé and red wines with pleasant, sweet and persistent tannic notes.
• By increasing ellagic tannins concentration in wine, Pinnacle Natura Tan maximises wood contact effect, thus optimising ageing conditions in new or used barrels.

Formulation:

Pure ellagic tannins extracted from untoasted French oak wood (Quercus robur).

Instructions for use:

Granulated form provides total solubility so direct addition in must is possible. However, to better homogenise and optimise action of Pinnacle Natura Tan we recommend dissolving in wine (1:10 ratio) or in warm water before adding to the wine.

Note: when added in white wines at pre-bottling, a preliminary protein stability test is required to avoid any risk of flocculation with proteins.

Dosage:

Suggested dosage 1-5 g/hL.

Higher dose is required for wines subject to oxidation or with low structure.

Note: higher doses of Pinnacle Natura Tan (6-10 g/hL) require time to fully integrate into wine and harmonise its structure. We recommend adding Pinnacle Natura Tan one week (or up to one month) before bottling.

Storage conditions: Store the product in a fresh, dry, well ventilated room.

Shelf life: Five years from date of manufacture.
