ABOUT PROTAN MALBEC
IDEAL USE: GIVE A SWEET BUT STRONG BACKBONE STRUCTURE TO RED AND WHITE WINES
- Throughout history, the wines from Bordeaux have enjoyed the soft and important structure brought by the proanthocyanidins derived from Malbec grapes. It was only after the frost of 1956 that many French vintners abandoned Malbec as a favorite blending component for structure.
- AEB is now able to provide wineries with the same component that has been the base of the Bordeaux blends, proanthocyanidinic tannin from Malbec.
- This tannin is now making the fortune of Argentinean wineries. Its proanthocyanidinic nature helps build a good structure and promotes polymerization of color and proanthocyanidins.
