888.656.5553Red Wine Color Concentration
for Wine Color Intensity
Winemaking Challenge: Red wine color does not meet expectations. You prefer not to use a stock colorant.
- "The color was better last year." Vintage variation and unexpected weather conditions can affect color.
- "Marketing wants a more intense appearance." Aroma and flavor are acceptable, but wine lacks the color requested by marketing.
- "We produce Estate Bottled wine." Stock colorant will affect "Estate" designation.
Winesecrets can guide you through this problem.
Winesecrets now offers a Custom Colorant to improve red wine color intensity. The color product is made from your fruit or fruit you designate, so you get exactly what you want.
- Red fruit of your choice is extracted with Flash Détente.
- Resultant highly colored wine is concentrated with Ultrafiltration. A resultant by-product is lightly colored. Ideal for a Rosé program or for bulk sales.
- Produce as much or as little as you need.
Your Results
Custom Colorant adds color to your wine.
- Intensity (Absorbance at 420 nm + 520 nm) increases to bring about a richer, darker appearing wine.
- The colorant favors red pigments (520 nm) bringing more red character and less brown color. Your wine matches or exceeds color from prior vintages.
- Marketability and perceived quality increase. Wine is judged on flavors and aromas and not appearance.
- Produced with your fruit or wine, estate designation stays intact.
Your Advantages
Custom Colorant is wine with no residual sugar or increased alcohol made from vinifera grapes: Your benefits of using this product include:
- Wine Integrity: Your wine is 100% vinifera. The competitors color additive is made from a hybrid bred with vitis rupestris.
- Wine consistency: Concentrate additives derived from hybrid grapes bring along distinct native characters and significant sugar.
- Operational Efficiency: Filterability is not an issue as with juice concentrate additives.
