Ellagitan Rouge is a preparation based on ellagic and proanthocyanidic tannin extracted from toasted oak and quebracho. Use of Ellagitan Rouge during crushing and fermentation will assist in preserving the gustative and olfactory freshness of red wines and is ideal to stabilise colour and reduce the risk of unwanted orange-brown hues in the finished wine. Ellagitan Rouge may also be used during maturation and refinement to stabilise colour and retain freshness.
