Features & Benefits

Characteristics

• Pinnacle Zym Clar+ enables quick depectinisation of the must/wine.

 • Pinnacle Zym Clar+ reduces viscosity and turbidity of must even when settling conditions are difficult.

Scientific background

Bentonite particles are negatively charged and attract positively charged particles such as proteins (e.g. enzymes). So the simultaneous application of Pinnacle Zym Clar+ and bentonite is not recommended. Bentonite can be added when the enzyme treatment has been completed.

Applications & Uses

Food & Nutrition Applications
Application

• Pinnacle Zym Clar+ speeds up clarification of all white and rosé musts, as well as turbid thermo-treated red musts and red press wines.

• Pinnacle Zym Clar+ shortens settling step by delivering more compact lees and a clearer must.

• Pinnacle Zym Clar+ is recommended for hard to settle grape varieties with high pectin concentrations as well as low pH and/or low temperature juices.

• Pinnacle Zym Clar+ enhances aromatic finesse of white and rosé wines and cost of red winemaking by increasing the yield of juice.

Instructions for use

In white/rosé must: add Pinnacle Zym Clar+ as early as possible after pressing. Pinnacle Zym Clar+ can also be added at crushing to maximize press yield and improve clarification. In reds: add Pinnacle Zym Clar+ as early as possible after pressing.
