Product description
OPTI-MUM RED™ helps to produce wines and ciders with intense color, a rounder, softer mouthfeel, and a decreased perception of astringency.
- Early additions of OPTI-MUM RED lead to more stable colour due to reactions between early-released colour molecules (anthocyanins), phenolic compounds (tannins), and polysaccharides (OPTI-MUM RED)
- Reduces the perception of green, astringent tannins in cool-climate or low maturity fruit
- Reduces the sensation of hotness in high alcohol wines
- The mannoprotein portion of this autolyzed yeast helps soften mouthfeel
- The yeast strain behind OPTI-MUM RED was specifically selected and fully autolyzed for its highly reactive high molecular weight polysaccharides and oligosaccharides
