Fermivin VR5

MID PALATE FRUITY STRUCTURED WINE

Purpose

Fermivin® VR5 is suitable for producing red wine for maturing over extended periods.

It promotes optimum extraction of polyphenols and stabilisation over time.
Fermivin VR5 helps develop blackcurrant, prune and Morello cherry aromas and spicy hints.

It is especially recommended for use with the maceration enzyme Rapidase® Extra Fruit to optimise colour extraction and stabilisation by forming pyrano-anthocyanins.
