Strongly effective for potassium bitartrate and color stabilization in red and rosé wines. Rapid and easy-to-use, ZENITH® COLOR is a great alternative to physical treatments (cooling, cations exchange resins and electrodialysis) and other stabilizing agents.
ZENITH® COLOR’s components were chosen in order to develop a stabilizing agent that is:
- Strongly effective for tartrate stabilization: potassium polyaspartate interferes with the formation and growth of potassium bitartrate crystals, thus preventing their precipitation in bottle. ZENITH® COLOR can stabilize highly unstable wines.
- Long-lasting stabilizing effect: ZENITH® COLOR can stabilize wines for a few years.
- Effective for color stability: gum Arabic Verek prevents the precipitation of unstable color compounds present in wine.
- Filterable: ZENITH® COLOR does not impact wine filterability. The special processes for the production of gum Arabic reduces its clogging effect allowing its use before final filtration.
- Environmentally sustainable: the use of ZENITH® COLOR to stabilize wines for tartrates consumes small amount of water, power and produces little greenhouse gases.
- Respectful of wine quality: no impact on wine sensory profile, no need for fining or removing unstable color, less risk of oxidation, preservation of aromatics, color and wine structure.
- Practical, fast and easy: Its application does not require investment in special equipment or specific skilled labor.
Dosage: 150- 200 mL/hL (maximum permitted dosage in EU is 200 mL/hL)

Maxigum F is a liquid solution of Gum Arabic obtained from Acacia Verek. Maxigum F undergoes a special treatment that makes it filterable; therefore, it can be added before microfiltration. Maxigum F is highly effective in preventing color compound precipitation, softening astringency and increasing mouthfeel structure. The free sulfur dioxide in Maxigum F provides a long shelf-life and permits its use after microfiltration without any microbial contamination concerns.

Maxigum is a liquid solution of Gum Arabic obtained from Acacia Verek. Because of its high molecular weight and highly branched structure, Maxigum is extremely effective in preventing the precipitation of color substances in wines ready for bottling. It also improves the sensory features of wine by increasing structure and mouthfeel and reducing the astringency of tannins. The sulfur dioxide contained in this preparation ensures its microbiological stability, so it can be added following microfiltration.
Application: Color stabilization in red wines, increase structure and mouthfeel.
