Opti-Red™ Yeast Nutrient for Red Wines – More Colour, Softer Tannins and a Rounder Mouthfeel

Opti-Red™ from Lallemand is a specially developed inactivated yeast nutrient for red wines. The product protects polyphenols early during fermentation, improves colour stability and produces a more harmonious wine with a rounder mouthfeel and softer tannins.

Benefits of Opti-Red™

• Improves colour intensity and colour stability
• Protects polyphenols against oxidation
• Provides softer tannins and reduces astringency
• Enhances body and mouthfeel
• Promotes fruit expression and aromatic complexity
• Suitable for all styles of red wine

Application

Add Opti-Red™ at the beginning of maceration or alcoholic fermentation. The natural yeast polysaccharides bind to polyphenols and tannins at an early stage, resulting in improved colour stability, a softer structure and a better-balanced wine.

Recommended Dosage

• Recommended dosage: 20–40 g per hL of juice
• Dissolve in approximately 10 times its own weight of water or juice before addition
• Add at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation

Select the desired quantity of Opti-Red™ when placing your order and give your red wines the optimum conditions for colour, aroma, structure and mouthfeel.
