Oxygen & Tannins: The Perfect Combination for Color Stability
October 09, 2025

JUCLAS Micro-Oxygenation Meets Enologica Vason Tannins
Oxygen, when applied with precision, is one of the most powerful tools in winemaking.

  • In small, controlled doses, it supports yeast metabolism and prevents reductive problems.
  • It promotes the polymerization of tannins and anthocyanins, fixing color and improving the structure of red wines.


The JUCLAS MICRODUE® PLUS system ensures that oxygen is delivered with absolute accuracy. When combined with the right tannins from the Enologica Vason range, the result is a complete solution for wines with intense, stable color and elegant balance.


MICRODUE® PLUS
The safe use of oxygen to add value to wine

  • Precision micro-oxygenation
  • Volumetric piston dosing: accuracy and repeatability
  • Up to 6 dosing points (expandable to 30 with Multipoint)
  • Oxygen dosage: 20 mL/h to 54 L/h per point
  • Portable and intuitive

MICRODUE® PLUS guarantees precise, safe, and flexible oxygen management, creating the ideal conditions for color stabilization.



The Combo Effect: Oxygen + Tannins

While MICRODUE® PLUS ensures accurate oxygen delivery, its effect is maximized when combined with selected tannins designed to protect and stabilize color.

SMARTAN® UVA SG

  • Grape catechinic tannins with high efficacy in stabilizing color fractions
  • Useful from the earliest vinification phases, during fining, and in micro-oxygenation
  • Prevents oxidative processes in musts and young wines (including Botrytis-affected grapes)
  • Supports tannic structure and facilitates anthocyanin stabilization during red vinification




PREMIUM® UVA SG

  • Derived from procyanidin and catechinic origins, highly reactive to proteins and oxidases
  • Extends shelf life and enhances resistance to oxidation
  • In red vinification, fixes anthocyanin fractions during maceration and racking
  • Reduces the need for SOâ‚‚ thanks to its antioxidant action




PREMIUM® LIMOUSIN SG

  • Extracted from oak with a delicate and balanced profile
  • Provides redox stability, improves body, and enhances aromatic complexity
  • Helps stabilize the color fraction of red wines, especially when natural cask release is insufficient
  • Effective in both early fining and final assembly phases
