Tannins

Tannins are a winemaker’s secret weapon in bringing out the best in their grapes and enhancing the natural characteristics imparted by Mother Nature. ATPGroup offers maturation and finishing tannins derived from grapes, chestnut wood, or oak, as well as blended.

Tani-Structure, Tannica Luxe, and Tani-Complete build mouthfeel for longer aging independently or in conjunction with micro-oxygenation. Querca-Tan Rouge, Querca-Tan UT, Tani-Grape and Cherry Tan smooth out gaps and fine tune the palate. For aromatic complexity, Querca-Tan VN and Querca-Tan MK offer profiles of rich spicy and sweet oak. Tani-Heritage, Tannica Fresco, and Tannica Bouquet deliver antioxidant benefits and promote fresh aromatics, structure, and softness while reducing the impression of some off-flavor compounds.

Tannins can also play a beneficial role in finished white wines due to their high antioxidant properties. Very low doses of Querca-Tan Blanc or Querca-Tan UT help keep whites fresh, maintaining bright vibrant flavors and aromatics especially when stored in tank. Properly applied, tannins used in finished whites can even help reduce the overall levels of sulfur dioxide required.

Trials are highly recommended and ATPGroup’s expert team of Enology Products Specialists is happy to help.
