Laffort

Laffort Finishing Tannins


Tannins can be considered as being grape's natural antioxidants, able to protect the color and aroma compounds from the action of oxidasic enzymes, such as laccase, as well as from the free radicals that are formed from the oxidation of polyphenolic molecules.

TAN'COR GRAND CRUŽ

Preparation of proanthocyanidic tannins derived from grapes and ellagic tannins from oak, using LAFFORT's instant dissolving process (IDP), to be used during red wine maturation

After the fermentation phase or during maturation, TAN'COR GRAND CRUŽ is used to:

  • Enhance and modify the wine's structure and palate length.
  • Stabilize color by combining the remaining free anthocyanins.
  • Regulate oxidation-reduction phenomena.


Dosage: 100 to 300 ppm - 0.8 to 2.4 lbs/1,000 gal.



TAN'CORŽ

Proanthocyanidic and ellagic tannins preparation, using LAFFORT's instant dissolving process (IDP), to be used in red wine maturation

TAN'CORŽ combines the properties of ellagic and proanthocyanidic tannins specially prepared for the treatment of red wines after the fermentation phase or during maturation, and is used to:

  • Enhance and modify the structure of the wine and prepare it for maturation.
  • Protect of the wine with regards to oxidation phenomena.
  • Regulate oxidation-reduction phenomena.

Dosage: 100 to 300 ppm - 0.8 to 2.4 lbs/1,000 gal.



BIOTANŽ

Proanthocyanidic tannins extracted from grapes using LAFFORT's instant dissolving process (IDP)

Thanks to the high quality of its extraction, BIOTANŽ contains only a negligible quantity of phenolic acids, which are known as Brettanomyces substrates.

During the fermentation phase or maturation, BIOTANŽ allows:

  • Compensation for natural grape tannins deficiency.
  • Stabilization of color due to the formation of tannin-anthocyanin polymeric pigments.


Dosage: 100 to 400 ppm - 0.8 to 3.2 lbs/1,000 gal.



QUERTANINŽ

QUERTANINŽ is a high quality complex ellagitannin preparation, which:

  • Enhances the wines structure and palate length.
  • Protects wines with regards to oxidation.
  • Increases the wines's aromatic intensity.
  • Eliminates reductive odors.


QUERTANINŽ SWEET

  • Emphasizes the aromatic profile with developing the perception of sweetness.


QUERTANINŽ INTENSE

  • Amplifies mouthfeel together with toasting characteristics


Dosage: 20 to 150 ppm - 0.16 to 1.2 lbs / 1,000 gal.



QUERPLUS (formely TANIN PLUS)

Oak extract from stave wood quality American oak.

The specific manufacturing process of QUERPLUS allows a unique component profile, which:

  • Enhances structure and mouthfeel.
  • Increases the wine's aromatic intensity and complexity.
  • Protects wine with regards to oxidation.


Dosage: 100 to 400 ppm - 0.8 to 3.2 lbs / 1,000 gal.
