Description

OPTI-RED may be used to produce wines with stable color, round mouthfeel, and smooth tannins.

• Quick release of polysaccharides that participate in color stabilizing reactions when added at the onset of fermentation
• As OPTI-RED breaks down, additional polysaccharides can complex with tannins resulting in round mouthfeel and smooth tannins
• When used in the later stages of fermentation it shapes harsh polyphenolics into smoother, more approachable tannins
• OPTI-RED™ is an inactivated and partially autolyzed yeast derivative

• Recommended Dosage: 30 g hL (2.5 lb 1000 gal)
  Usage: Mix OPTI-RED in 10 times its weight of must or water and add during a punch-down or a
  pump-over to ensure OPTI-RED is mixed in well. This product is partially soluble. Stir to maintain
  suspension before and during addition.
  Storage: Dated expiration. Store at 18°C (65°F). Once opened, keep tightly sealed and dry.
