Other Additives

Enhances fruit and chocolate-like aromas in red wines Helps stabilize color Our selected blend of SIY's, Ellagic Tannins, and a touch of Gum Arabic Added at the end of fermentation or the beginning of aging Red Wonder was developed to add fruit and chocolate flavor to red wine. It brings the body and richness of sur lie aging with the amazing impact of ellagic finishing tannins. The ellagic tannins in this blend were selected for their ability to impart chocolate flavors into the wine. Red Wonder is a blend of specially inactivated yeast (SIY), elected ellagic tannins, and a little bit of LiquiBody Gum Arabic. In addition to body and flavor this product helps reduce the need for SO2 and also helps to lock in color. You certainly could select an SIY, like our CellarScience Easy Sur Lie and then trial them with different ellagic tannins along with LiquiBody. But we've worked in small wineries and we know you are busy, so we've done that trialing for you and selected the blend that most often turned out really exceptional red wines. Directions:Use at the rate of 0.4 to 1.5 g per gallon of wine. Rehydrate in warm water or wine for 30 minutes and then stir directly into the tank or barrel. Once fully mixed it doesn't need any further stirring. We recommend starting with dosage of 1 g per gal (0.25 g per liter) and adjusting on further batches as needed.

CellarScience GSH Naturale was designed for winemakers who want to take advantage of the benefits of Glutathione. Glutathione reduces browning in all wines but is especially useful in whites. In whites with higher levels of terpenes and thiols (e.g. Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier) GSH helps preserve fruity/floral aromas. It is also particularly helpful to produce natural wines or wines with less SO2. Benefits: Protects against oxidation Preserves Terpenes, Esters, and Thiols (3MH, 3MHA) during aging Reduces need for SO2 Improves color stability How it Works:Quinones are a class of compounds that can degrade wine by causing oxidizing reactions that lead to browning and the loss of desirable varietal flavors. Terpenes and Thiols are particularly prone to interact with Quinones. Instead GSH reacts with Quiniones creating a stable compound that does not lead to browning and a loss of flavor and aroma. GSH is a natural compound found in yeast cells and acts as a natural anti-oxidant that can be used in conjunction with SO2 or by itself in the case where the winemaker chooses to use low or zero quantities of SO2. GSH Naturale contains a high percentage of tripeptide glutathione along with other polysaccharides that have a positive impact on body, flavor, aroma. Usually used in conjunction with SO2 as an additional natural inhibitor of browning, GSH Naturale will have positive impact on color, wine, thiol, esters and terpene content throughout the aging process. Use:Add 0.4 to 1.5 grams per gallon (0.1 to 0.4 g per liter) directly into the wine. We recommend starting with a dosage of 1 g per gallon (0.25 g per liter) and adjusting as desired in future batches.
