Batonnage Plus Texture is a refined yeast derivative designed to deliver the benefits of traditional lees aging in a faster, more controlled way. Rich in soluble mannoproteins and polysaccharides, it enhances the tactile profile of wine by increasing volume and softness, while also improving aromatic lift and length. Its unique composition smooths rough edges, balances acidity, and imparts a subtle sweetness on the palate, making it especially valuable for wines that are overly lean or sharp. This soft finish helps round out both white and red wines without adding sugar, creating the impression of greater harmony and polish. Its liquid format ensures fast, clean integration with minimal handling.
Protocol
Dilute the desired amount of Batonnage Plus Texture in ten parts chlorine-free water or wine. Add during maturation or post-fermentation with gentle mixing. Allow 7–14 days of contact time before sensory evaluation. Once the desired effect is reached, rack or filter as needed.
