OPTI-WHITE™

OPTI-WHITE™ is a specific inactivated yeast with high antioxidant properties. Its application in white wines is patent pending. Using OPTI-WHITE™ on the juice at the beginning of fermentation results in rounder mouthfeel and greater aromatic complexity in white wines. As its unique properties protect against oxidation of phenols and aromas, OPTI-WHITE™ contributes to better color preservation and the aromatic freshness of white wines. Yeast cell wall components from OPTI-WHITE™ will be solubilized during fermentation and aging. Mostly mannoproteins, these polysaccharides will have a very positive impact on mouthfeel, bringing more roundness to the wine. Their action will enhance the benefits of autolysis following alcoholic fermentation. Dosage recommendations: Add OPTI-WHITE™ to the juice at 30-40 g/hL for a round mouthfeel contribution, antioxidative color protection and aromatic freshness. Add OPTI-WHITE™ towards the end of fermentation at 20-30 g/hL for mouthfeel contribution and better integration of wood and alcohol.
