Finishing Touches For Your Wine
Finishing Touches for Your Wine
Finishing aids are valuable tools for perfecting a wine. This includes cellaring and finishing tannins, but also stability products, such as mannoproteins and gum arabics. Scott Laboratories offers finishing kits with a range of liquid products for ease of addition, including a variety of cellaring and finishing tannins as well as stabilizing aids. These final touches can help winemakers prevent undesirable characteristics and achieve specific goals.
The LUXE tannins are ultra-premium finishing tannins designed to bring out elegance, complexity, and balance in premier wines. They have been highly refined and carefully extracted so that additions may be made as late as 48 hours prior to bottling. Our LUXE liquid tannin kits include samples of each tannin in the range: Radiance, Onyx, and Royal. These kits are great tools to dial in your wine by:
- masking pyrazines/greenness
- maximizing fruit
- brightening acid
- increasing mid-palate and body
- boosting aromatic intensity
- imparting oaky character
- increasing the perception of sweetness
- minimizing the impact of Brettanomyces
Both kits are available with or without a pipette (pipette sold separately). For more information about our Finishing Kit or LUXE Liquid Tannin Kit, please contact 707-765-6666 or info@scottlab.com.
Please remember that bench trials are a very important step to determine the right fit for any finishing products. View our bench trial dosage charts.
