Product details

OPTI-MUM RED™ is a specific yeast autolysate rich in polysaccharides due to the combination of a unique wine yeast made with a specific MEX™ process leading to a higher polysaccharides availability. Using OPTI-MUM RED™ in the must provides an early availability of polysaccharides for complexing with polyphenols as soon as the polyphenols are released and diffused. The formation of stable soluble complexes between polyphenols and polysaccharides enables a better colour stabilisation and improved wine texture.
