The Spanish company’s mission is to help winemakers define the character of their wines in line with market trends, thanks to the development of products and tools for wine refining.
The sensations map is a revolutionary tool created by Agrovin to help the winemaker to represent the wine they want to achieve in a very simple and intuitive way, facilitating decision-making when defining character and making use of the products that provide the specific nuances during each phase of production.
This tool, created by the Spanish company, uses a new tasting language that is intended to be unique and universal, laying the foundations of a new form of production, inspired by a graph that shows the taste and olfactory phase of the wine while allowing us to observe which attributes must be modified to reach the desired balance.
Madrid, May 9, 2023. The Agrovin Group, a Spanish manufacturer and distributor of oenological products, systems and above all, a benchmark for innovation in the sector, with more than 60 years of experience, has positioned itself as an expert and leader in precision in refining wines thanks to the catalog of products and tools specifically developed by its team of experts.
Since its origins, the Spanish company has worked both with and for wineries around the world as an advisor to winemakers, assisting them in defining the profile of their wines in stay in line with market trends. Its Technology department is in charge of developing oenological products aimed at creating balanced wines where there is an equilibrium between the tactile sensations perceived in the mouth and the aromatic sensations felt in the nose. A complex challenge, also taking into account the effects caused by the current climate crisis, which affects both the ripening of the grape and the quality of the final wine. That is why Agrovin is working to alleviate the effects of climate change and provide innovative solutions that respect the work of the oenologist and help him obtain the desired wine from the beginning of production until the final refining process.
To this end, the group has created a specific catalogue of refining products, together with a revolutionary tool called the ‘sensations map’, which makes it possible for the winemaker to represent both the wine they have and the wine they want to achieve in a very simple and intuitive way, facilitating decision-making when defining the desired character and making use of the products that provide the specific nuances during each phase of the production.
The sensations map uses a new tasting language that is intended to be unique and universal, laying the foundations of a new form of wine production, inspired by a graph that shows the taste phase of the wine while allowing us to observe which attributes must be modified to reach the desired balance.
Precision in wine refinement is essential to guarantee the character of the wine that defines each winery. Its complexity resides in finding the balance between the tactile and the aromatic sensations. With this objective, Agrovin works hand in hand with its technicians and consultants in the development of refining products, positioning itself as a leader and expert in this segment.
Agrovin products for wine refinement, aiming for:
Tactile and aromatic sensations
The taste experience of a great wine is determined by the balance between tactile and aromatic sensations. In this manner, the wine’s aromatic profile and its participation in the olfactory phase are also strongly relevant in the taste phase. Intense and persistent aromas are involved in this phase from start to finish, enhancing the sweetness of the mouthfeel, intensifying the center of the wine while being the main component in the final phase.
Tanicol Red Vintage is a tannin from fruit trees that provides persistent fruit aromas (aromatic sensations) while increasing the breadth of the wine without increasing astringency (tactile sensations).
Spirit Candy, an oak alternative in Topping format, provides both sweet notes (tactile sensations) and intense vanilla aromas in a reduced amount of time (aromatic sensations).
Unctuousness in wine
To reach the balance in the elaboration phase, the acidity-structure must be balanced with the unctuousness. Manoprotein Mannoplus ND is a purified mannoprotein, in liquid format, responsible for achieving that balance. Thanks to its high protein fraction, it provides greater unctuousness and reduces astringency while respecting the structure of the wine. In the mouth, it provides density and body, smoothing the tannins while decreasing the astringency and supporting the structure of the wine. It reduces bitterness and provides sweet and unctuous sensations. In aroma, it increases the length and intensifies the fruit aromas in wines with wood.
Sweetness in wine
Gum arabic directly influences sweet sensations, as do wood derivatives, which in turn increases the overall complexity of the wine. Gomasol Seda by Agrovin is a vegetable polysaccharide that favours the increase of sweet sensations at the beginning of the mouth, providing balance and roundness, polishing aggressive tannins and decreasing excessive astringency from the grape or wood while respecting the aromatic characteristics of the wine.
Astringency
Sometimes, astringency is a defect that needs to be corrected in time. Proveget Premium is the liquid vegetable clarifier that provides greater control of astringency by eliminating any type of astringent note and bitterness when a tannin becomes a defect, improving the balance in the mouth in terms of sweetness, unctuousness, amplitude and length. In addition, thanks to its exclusive solubilisation process, this vegetable protein fining agent is capable of preventing and correcting browning while respecting the integrity of the wine.
