Kupzit 10g

To remove the finished smell of wine defects.

Although some wines were recorded as smelling of hydrogen sulphide as early as the 19th century, it is still not clear how they develop and how to prevent them. The elimination of hydrogen sulphide, mercaptan and aromatic aromas without significantly affecting the organoleptic characteristics of the wine is a major challenge for winemakers every year. Kupzit is an innovative product that is highly effective in eliminating hydrogen sulphide odours without giving the wine a metallic taste after treatment. After treatment, there is usually no need for bluing. The use of Kupzit has been authorised throughout the EU since August 2009.

Short description of the product
The new copper citrate preparation Kupzit is a new development for the treatment of hydrogen sulphide in wine, fruit wine and other fermentation products.
odours of fermented wine. Kupzit contains 2% copper citrate and is designed for easy dosing and easy removal of odours.

The aim of the treatment
Kupzit reacts quickly and specifically with sulphur-containing compounds with an unpleasant odour, such as hydrogen sulphide and
mercaptans. It precipitates these without noticeably increasing the copper content in the beverage, if the dosage is correct.
