Rural freight increase & review of bulky item pricing. Unfortunately rural freight has increased to $14 to more closely reflect the actual cost to us. We have retained the $99 free freight threshold. As at 22 April we are working on calculating some pricing increases for bulky items but these are yet to be finalised so we suggest if you have a need for buckets to order them sooner rather than later.
Enzyme for fast, early color extraction in dark fruit maceration
Rapidase® Extra Color allows for targeted extraction of color and polyphenols contained in grape skins. Its use allows making lesser use of non specific, potentially detrimental, mechanical methods such as punch-down and delestages. Rapidase® Extra Color Is a microgranulated pectolytic enzyme preparation with essential side activities. Rapidase® Extra Color naturally contains negligible levels of Cinnamyl esterase and anthocyanase activity.
