Research shows that an experienced consultants can detect gum arabic additions to Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon at 50 mg/L (50 ppm) which goes to show just how powerful this product is, and in the hands of an inexperienced winemaker that citrogum could be dangerous. Our companies leadership is not in favor of gum arabic for making red wines that are to be sold as genuine. | |
