Stabilizing Agents

Now approved for use throughout North America!

• Solution of potassium polyaspartate (KPA), mannoproteins and sulfur dioxide.
• Specifically designed to prevent potassium bitartrate precipitation in sparkling wine and improve perlage
• Does not modify wine sensory and filterability, even at low temperatures.
• Environment sustainable, practical, easy to use and respectful of wine quality.

Dosage: 100 mL/hL (maximum dosage permitted in EU)

Recommendations: Tartrate stability; perlage stability; sparkling wine.

Dosage: 100 mL/hL (3.8 L/1,000 gal)

Now approved for use in USA!

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)
