Features & Benefits

Characteristics: • Pinnacle Structure Tan particularly contributes to structure and aromatic stability, improving bouquet and drinkability of red wine.

• When added early in maceration, Pinnacle Structure Tan inactivates oxidative enzymes, precipitates grape proteins and preserves endogenous tannins.

• When added later in maceration Pinnacle Structure Tan promotes polymerisation and stabilization of polyphenolanthocyanin by ethyl bridge mechanism. It also removes vegetal and geosmin unpleasant aromas, thus enhancing fruity notes.

• When added post fermentation, Pinnacle Structure Tan protects the wine from oxidation thus contributes to aromatic complexity.
Scientific background: Tannins are very reactive with enzymes and eliminate their activity. Pinnacle Structure Tan should be added 4 hours before or after extraction enzymes (but never at the same time).

Applications & Uses

Markets: Food & Nutrition
Applications: Food & Nutrition — Beverage
Oenology
Food & Nutrition Applications: Wine
Application: • Pinnacle Structure Tan adds mouthfeel and prevents oxidation and color loss of all red wines.

• Pinnacle Structure Tan contributes to a more stable tannic structure with high anthocyanin content.

• Pinnacle Structure Tan is a powerful anti-oxidative tool that inhibits tyrosinase and laccase enzymatic activities (e.g. in botrytised grapes) and completes action of SO2 thus avoiding overdoses of sulphites in wine.

• Pinnacle Structure Tan is useful when you cannot remove the seeds from the wine as it removes vegetal notes while enhancing varietal flavors.
Instructions for use: Granulated form provides total solubility so direct addition in must is possible. However, to better homogenize and optimize action of Pinnacle Structure Tan we recommend dissolving in wine/must (1:5 ratio) or in warm water before adding to the must.
Dosage: 10-30 g/hL must or 10-30 gr/100kg grapes. A double dose is recommended for low SO2, poor quality grapes (Botrytis), short maceration, low polyphenol content or wine dedicated to long aging.
