Tannin - FT Blanc, 1kg

Scott’Tan^TM FT Blanc tannin is a white gall nut tannin specifically formulated for use on grapes with mold or rot (e.g.Botrytis). It helps protect juice from browning by acting as an anti-oxidant and inhibiting laccase activity. On sound grapes FT Blanc is an effective anti-oxidant when used with SO₂. In protein rich varieties, such as Sauvignon Blanc, FT Blanc can help remove proteins. In some wines it will also contribute notes of minerality.

FT Blanc can also be used as a fermentation or post-fermentation tannin in cider to boost the mid-palate of "donut" style ciders.

To Use: Add FT Blanc by sprinkling directly on the grapes at the crusher or by adding to the juice or the wine during a tank mixing. Good homogeni­zation is important. If an addition of FT Blanc is made post-fermentation, we recommend waiting 3-6 weeks after the tannin addition before racking, fining, filtering or bottling.

Storage: Dated expiration. Unopened the shelf life is 5 years at 18ºC(65ºF). Once opened keep tightly sealed and dry.
