SEPAZYM® RED

SEPAZYM® ROT – Pectolytic enzyme for red wine mash

SEPAZYM® RED is a liquid pectolytic enzyme for use in red wine making. It supports the digestion of the grape mash and thereby improves the extraction of dyes and aroma components from the berry shells.

The enzymatic splitting of the pectins loosens up the mash structure and significantly increases the color yield. At the same time, the processing of the mash during fermentation improves.

SEPAZYM® ROT is free of cinnamyl esterases and thus prevents the formation of unwanted off-flavors. The varietal, fruity character of the wines is preserved.
