Citrogum

Citrogum is a clear, almost colorless Gum Arabic preparation with a low calcium content. Citrogum is recommended for the treatment of wines ready for bottling. It integrates the colloidal content of wine, improving its balance, organoleptic features and stability, mainly tartaric.

It enhances aroma, reduces bitterness and astringency, and increases softness and body. Citrogum’s low membrane blocking capacity (it’s the most filterable gum in the market!), purity and microbial stability ensure that it can be added with confidence at any stage during preparation for bottling.

The sulfur dioxide in the preparation gives the product a long shelf life and enables direct addition to wine even after microfiltration without any risk of microbial contamination.

Applications:

• For tartrate and colloid stabilization in finished wines ready for bottling.
• When added in “liqueur d’expédition” preparation, to improve “perlage” quality.

Dosage:

• 50 - 150 mL/hL
• 100 mL/100 bottles in the liqueur d’expédition

100 mL/hL contributes about 3 mg/L of SO2 to wine.
It is recommended to perform preliminary trials to determine the right dosage, stabilizing efficacy and possible effects on filterability.

Instructions:

Add CITROGUM to clear wine ready for bottling. Due to its low clogging effect and microbial sterility, CITROGUM can be added before or after microfiltration.
