Aromatics are at the heart of every wine's identity. Whether you're working on a fresh fruit-forward white, an expressive rosé, or a complex fruit-driven red, every stage of winemaking gives you a chance to build, reveal, and protect aroma.

We want to share a few tools that can help you get more fruit, more varietal character, and more staying power in your wines this vintage.

1) Boost fruit early

OptiThiols is a formulation of inactivated yeasts rich in reducing compounds that protects against oxidation and promotes the release of aromatic thiols, enhancing citrus and tropical fruit character.

Dosage: 20–40 g/hL

Use: Early fermentation. hiols booster and antioxidant protection.

OptiEster boosts fruity and floral fermentative esters by supplying the precursors your yeast needs to build higher alcohol acetates and fatty acid ethyl esters.

Dosage: 20 to 40 g/hL

Use: Early fermentation. Enhances fruitiness, lifts aromatics, refreshes overripe grapes, and helps mask smoke taint and vegetal notes.

2) Reveal what's already there

Œnozym Thiols is built to release thiol precursors in white, rosé, and red wines. It boosts 4MMP, 3MH, and A-3MH, which means more aromatic intensity and a longer finish.

Dosage: 4–6 mL/hL

Use: During fermentation or pre-bottling.

Œnozym Fruity Wine is a pectolytic enzyme with strong glycosidase activity that releases aromatic compounds like terpenes and C13-norisoprenoids, enhancing the fruity, floral, rose-like, and spicy profile of white, rosé, and red wines.

Dosage: 3–6 g/hL

Use: During or after fermentation to boost varietal aromas in Viognier, Gewürztraminer Pinot gris, Riesling, Muscat, Syrah, …

3) Protect what you've built

Aroma Protect is very rich in glutathione and other reducing compounds, providing immediate antioxidant protection in wine. By significantly slowing oxidation, it helps preserve the wine’s aromas and freshness.

Dosage: 15–30 g/hL

Use: At the end of fermentation or during aging. Effective alternative or complement to SO₂ for antioxidant protection.

Technical Winemaking Webinar · May 13 · 45 minutes with live Q&A

Save the date, you’re invited to our new webinar!

Stuck and sluggish fermentations, along with limited aromatic expression, remain common challenges, especially with high Brix or unbalanced musts.

In this webinar, we will review the key parameters that influence fermentation performance and aroma development, from yeast activation through to the end of alcoholic fermentation. The session will focus on practical decision points and how targeted nutrition strategies can impact both fermentation kinetics and aromatic outcomes.

Topics covered:

• Yeast rehydration and early-stage management Impact of rehydration conditions on yeast viability, including the role of sterols and fatty acids

• Fermentation kinetics and completion Identification of risk factors for sluggish or stuck fermentations, and practical approaches to secure fermentation to dryness

• Aroma development during fermentation Influence of nutrient availability on thiol and ester expression, and interaction with yeast metabolism

Questions or want to go deeper? Feel free to reach out ahead of time with your specific fermentation challenges or visit our library to learn more about the tools and protocols we’ll discuss during the session.

Ensuring good wine filterability is key to saving time, protecting quality, and avoiding costly production issues. Poor clarification and high polysaccharide levels can quickly lead to fouled membranes and slow filtration.

We are excited to introduce our innovative solutions to help you streamline clarification, reduce microbial load, and improve the overall quality of your wines.

Improve Filterability with Oenoflow Max

Œnoflow Max is formulated with specific enzymatic activities (pectinase, AG-II-hydrolase, hemicellulase, and β-glucanase) to break down a wider variety of complex polysaccharides compared to other enzymes on the market.

This advanced formulation ensures a more effective and cleaner filtration process, saving time and preserving the purity of your wine.

Better filtration, better balance, less time with VinoTaste Pro

VinoTaste Pro is a purified enzymatic blend of pectinase and β-glucanase that improves clarification while enhancing wine quality.

• Improves natural filterability (up to +200%)

• Enhances roundness, mouthfeel, and aromatic expression

• Stabilizes color during maturation

• Shortens aging time without compromising quality

Enhance Balance, Clarity & Stability with Greenfine Must

Fining is a key step in fine-tuning wines and ensuring smooth filtration. Greenfine Must is a 100% pea protein fining agent that delivers fast, effective clarification.

• Vegan & allergen-free alternative to casein and PVPP

• Removes excess phenolics to balance mouthfeel and enhance aromas

• Controls oxidation by eliminating oxidized compounds and off-flavors

• Reduces turbidity with rapid, compact sedimentation for brighter wines

The Origin Press 22 Open Cage is here! Come see it in person at the Unified Tradeshow on January 27 and January 28. 

The wide sliding door opening simplifies filling and emptying, while the large door opening, rinsing bar, rear hatch, and rear sliding juice collector allow for quick and efficient washing. 

Safety and usability are key features, including cable security with audible alarms and a user-friendly color PLC touchscreen with icons-based pages and user-definable sequential and static programs. 

The new tank drive system eliminates lubrication and chain maintenance, reducing downtime and ongoing maintenance needs. 

Contact us for more information.

As harvest dust settles, it Is time to fine-tune your wines and prepare them for the next stage, ageing. Join us for a focused, 30-minute Lamothe-Abiet webinar designed to help you finalize your 2025 vintage with balance, clarity, and protection in mind. 

This practical and interactive session will guide you through key technical steps to optimize wine balance, structure, and stability, setting the foundation for high quality and longevity in the cellar. 

We’ll discuss: 

• How fining agents can harmonize green or harsh tannins and rebalance phenolics 
• Using tannins and barrel alternatives to rebuild structure and stabilize color 
• Managing botrytis impact and glucans early with specific enzymes to enhance filtration and accelerate ageing 
• Protecting your wines before ageing with natural antioxidant and antimicrobial solutions such as glutathione and chitosan 

Reserve your spot now and receive practical protocols to finish the 2025 vintage with confidence.
