Are you looking for a way to enhance the color, structure, and aroma of your red wine? Look no further than Cellarscience Enzo Red, a pectinase blend specifically designed to promote deep, lasting color, structure, and aroma in fine red wines. By adding Enzo Red to your red wine fermentation, you can release aroma compounds, anthocyanins, and desirable skin tannins, resulting in a more complex and full-bodied wine.
One of the key benefits of using Enzo Red is that it reduces the necessary contact time and physical interaction normally needed for extraction. This means you can achieve the same level of extraction with less work, saving you time and effort. Additionally, Enzo Red contains a selection of enzymes that break down cellulose and hemicellulose, releasing even more flavor and aroma compounds into your wine.
As a winemaker, you know that clarification and filtering can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. But with Enzo Red, you can say goodbye to these headaches. The pectinase blend in Enzo Red helps with faster clarification and easier downstream filtering, making the winemaking process smoother and more efficient.
Another advantage of using Enzo Red is that it reduces the amount of punch downs or pump overs required. This means you can cut back on the number of times you need to physically interact with your must, reducing the risk of oxygen exposure and contamination. And for pump overs in particular, Enzo Red can help reduce the shearing action on seeds that can occur when pumping must.
When it comes to using Enzo Red, it's easy to get started. Simply dilute 0.04 to 0.15 g per gal (0.01 to 0.04 g per liter) into water and add directly into the crushed grapes or must. Perform bench trials to determine optimal usage or start with a dosage of 0.1 g per gal (0.025 g per liter) and adjust as desired on future batches.
