AEB Protan LXP – 1kg

The addition of tannins in the initial stages of vinification is the first step towards obtaining longer-lived wines with a balanced tannic structure in which the polyphenolic and aromatic assets of the grape are preserved and enhanced.

Protan LXP is a mixture of proanthocyanidins with great antioxidant power. Protan LXP enhances the aromatic notes present in wines, increases the perception of sweet, tannic, citrusy and spicy notes, resulting in interesting wines in line with market demands. The polyphenolic properties of Protan LXP characterise, enhance and revitalise white and rosé wines.

Protan LXP is an excellent adjuvant for all stages of winemaking. It has ideal characteristics for use in fermentation and ageing; it can be added in combination with Ellagitan tannins and Boisélevage wood derivatives. During warm vintages, it is ideal in fermentation, creating a contrast to the ripe-oriented aromas, thanks to the cool sensation.
