Enartis ES 488 - 500g
ES 488 is a strain recommended for the production of “new world” style red wines destined for ageing. It enhances and intensifies the varietal characteristics of very ripe red grapes.
In particular, it enhances red fruit aromas (raspberry, cranberry, red currant and kirsch cherry) and increases complexity by adding mineral, spicy (liquorice) and floral (violet) notes. Resulting wines are already aromatically expressive at the end of alcoholic fermentation.
ES 488 also helps mask herbaceous aromas found in grape varieties such as Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a great extraction capacity, producing wines with notable structure and color stability. In wines with high alcohol content, it helps reduce burning sensations.
Recommended Styles: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Tempranillo, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, Barbera, Dolcetto
