• Aromatic refinement: Reduces vegetal or reductive notes while enhancing fruit and floral aromas.
• Structure enhancement: Builds roundness and mouthfeel without adding astringency
• Color stability: Promotes anthocyanin-tannin binding to stabilize color in red wines
• Antioxidant protection: Inhibits oxidation and improves shelf-life during aging and pre-bottling
• Fully soluble: Dissolves easily in water or wine for reliable application and consistent performance

EnartisTan Max is a proprietary blend of ellagic and condensed tannins derived from exotic hardwoods, specifically designed for use in both red and white winemaking. It is typically used during the aging or pre-bottling phase to address reductive or herbaceous characters, bringing clarity to a wine’s aromatic profile while also enhancing body and balance. It is fantastic to treat reductive wines. In red wines, it aids in stabilizing color through polymerization of anthocyanins, while in whites and rosés it softens bitterness and elevates freshness. Unlike harsher tannins, EnartisTan Max contributes finesse, rounding out the palate and extending the wine’s aging potential without adding bitterness or dryness.

Protocol:
Dissolve EnartisTan Max in 10 parts warm water or wine before addition. Mix thoroughly until fully dissolved. Add directly to tank or barrel, ensuring homogenous distribution. It is best used during aging or at least 3 weeks before bottling to allow for full integration. Bench trials are strongly recommended to determine the optimal dose for each wine.

Usage rates:
Recommended dosage: 3–15 g/hL
— 0.03–0.15 g/L
— 0.11–0.57 g/gal

Use lower doses to refine aromatics and reduce off-notes in delicate wines. Higher doses can improve mid-palate texture and provide antioxidant protection in more structured reds. Always confirm impact through tasting trials before final application.
