Wine Additives

Oak Essence, also known as Sinatin 17, is a liquid oak extract which enhances wine flavor and reduces aging time. To use, stir a 1oz. bottle into 6 gallons of a full bodied red or white wine.

Potassium Sorbate is primarily used to stabilize a wine by hindering fermentation. Recommended use is 1/4 tsp. per gallon at bottling. It is not recommended to use potassium sorbate in wines that have undergone malolactic fermentation as this can lead to undesirable geranium-like aromas and flavors in your wine.

Yeast Nutrient is a blend of diammonium phosphate and urea. It will enhance the yeast's ability to bud and ferment. Recommended dose is 1 tsp. per gallon of wine mixed and added during pretreatment, or at time of yeast pitch.
