Tannin FT Rouge

Description

Scott’TanTM FT Rouge is a proprietary tannin specifically formulated for the North American market. It is a blend of highly reactive tannins derived from exotic woods and chestnut. The addition of FT Rouge at the beginning of red wine fermentation helps preserve the grapes’ natural tannins so they can combine with anthocyanins to create optimal stable color. Mouthfeel is also enhanced. FT Rouge provides anti-oxidative protection and will inhibit oxidative enzymes (such as laccase) associated with browning.

To Use: Gradually sprinkle FT Rouge directly on grapes at the crusher or add to the must during a pump-over to obtain good homogenization. If subsequent additions of FT Rouge are desired, this can be done in increments of 0.5 lb/1000 gal (63 ppm) during pump-overs. If an addition of FT Rouge (or FT Rouge Soft) is made post-fermentation, we recommend waiting 3-6 weeks after the tannin addition before racking, fining, filtering or bottling.

Storage: Dated expiration. Unopened the shelf life is 5 years at 18ºC(65ºF). Once opened keep tightly sealed and dry.


Recommended for use with:  Red, Fruit

    Recommended Dosage:

    • Red Vinifera Must: 200-500 ppm || 20-50 g/hL || 1.6-4.0 lb/1000 gal
    • Red Non-Vinifera Must: 300-600 ppm || 30-60 g/hL || 2.4-5.0 lb/1000 gal
    • Fruit: 200-500 ppm || 20-50 g/hL || 1.60-4.0 lb/1000 gal

    Tannin Source: Chestnut Hardwood

    FT Rouge Tannin additions are highly beneficial during rot management for red wines as they act as an antioxidant and help minimize the damage from laccase.
