What is Tannin Complex?
Tannin Complex is a premium oenological tannin that replaces our TAN130 - Tan'Cor. It offers winemakers the possibility to add refined, highly-bindable tannins to their wine at any stage during the process.
Benefits of Tannin Complex
The benefits of using Tannin Complex include increased structure and mouthfeel, color stabilization, stability, anti-oxidative qualities, and overall complexity. It can also reduce vegetal and herbaceous characteristics, and perceived astringency.
How to Use Tannin Complex
To use Tannin Complex, simply add it to the wine incrementally while racking or stirring. Mix well to ensure homogeneity. The final addition should be made 3-6 weeks before bottling to allow for complete polymerization and settling.
Recommended Dosage
Use Tannin Complex at the rate of 0.20-1.14 g/gal (5-30 g/hL) prior to aging. A rough approximate of weight is 1 tsp = 3.1 grams. We highly recommend using a scale to weigh the product for an accurate dose.
Why Choose Tannin Complex
Tannin Complex is specially developed to add structure and a soft mid palate to premium red wines without harshness or a forward oak finish. It's ideal for use in older tannin-leached barrels and with full, fruity, lower tannin varietals like Syrah and Zinfandel.
