Features & Benefits
- Food Ingredients Features
- Characteristics
• Pinnacle Seed Tan is the perfect tool to support micro-oxygenation as it promotes polymerisation and stabilization of polyphenolanthocyanin by ethyl bridge mechanism.
• Pinnacle Seed Tan stabilizes color by naturally integrating the polyphenolic structure of wines while reversing the oxidation process.
• Pinnacle Seed Tan is very reactive with sulphured compounds and removes ethanethiol, methanethiol and their precursors (ethyl-thioacetate, methyl-thioacetate).
• Pinnacle Seed Tan compensates natural grape tannin deficiency and decreases astringency of the wine.
Applications & Uses

- Applications
- Food & Nutrition Applications
- Application
• Pinnacle Seed Tan can be used to support the aging process of red wines or to add immediate structure and concentration at pre-bottling.
• Pinnacle Seed Tan decreases reductive notes that can occur in case of late racking.
• Pinnacle Seed Tan improves low body red wines made from unripe grapes with a more balanced polyphenolic structure and greater palate length.
- Instructions for use
After fermentation from racking-off to pre-bottling. Granulated form provides total solubility so direct addition in must is possible. However, to better homogenize and optimize action of Pinnacle Seed Tan we recommend dissolving in wine (1:10 ratio) or in warm water before adding to the wine.
- Dosage
Suggested dosage from 1-15 g/hL; depends on wine concentration, winemaking step and expected results.
