Lallzyme EX-V™

Macerating enzyme for red wines destined for aging

LALLZYME EX-V™ is a highly concentrated pectinase preparation with important side activities specifically developed for superior cell wall and cell membrane activity, enabling superior extraction of polyphenolic content from red grapes. This allows for a complete and rapid release of anthocyanins and a more efficient release of tannins leading to stable anthocyanin-tannin bonding. The end result of this bonding is a more structured wine with deep, stable colour. LALLZYME EX-V™ is particularly suited for production of premium quality red wines destined for long aging. Aromatic profile analysis indicates LALLZYME EX-V™ also impacts on the release of aromatic compounds, while respecting the varietal characteristics of the grape. Available in water soluble crystalline form, it is added to red grapes at crushing at a rate of 10 to 20g/tonne grapes.
