New Article: Winemaking Mannoproteins 101
Why Mannoproteins?
Traditional lees stirring releases a broad range of mannoproteins from yeast cell walls, many of which can influence wine quality. While their primary function is to support colloidal stability, many winemakers also report additional benefits, such as improved mouthfeel and other enhanced sensory attributes. Selected mannoprotein preparations deliver this effect with greater precision.
Selective & Targeted
Unlike natural lees aging, purified mannoproteins are isolated for specific colloidal stabilizing benefits.
Effective & Practical
It can be added at specific stages without the need for extended aging or frequent stirring.
Consistent & Controlled
Provide reliable results without the variability of prolonged lees contact.
