Wishing your press wines were a little better? Let's discuss it! Do you know that through an appropriate and early fining, the press fractions can significantly be improved in quality, to be used in the final blend. Among the different fining agents that we tested in a recent study, Polymust helps to:
- Significantly reduce the spoilage population to a level close to the free run wine level (reduction up to a thousant fold)
- Significantly improve the wine clarity (turbidity reduced by 30 to 40%)
- Significantly reduce the coloring matter instability, to almost completely stabilize the wine
- Significantly improve the tasting characteristics of the wine (astringency index decreased by up to 35%).
The fining results are optimized when using Polymust in conjunction with a beta-glucanase enzyme, Extralyse.
