  • APPLYING TO WINE:
    • Minimizes modification of the wine’s tannin profile due to its low ellagitannin content. Has less impact on structured mouthfeel than European oaks.
    • Has a significant short-term organoleptic impact due to its high volatile compound content.
    • This oak rapidly transfers its characteristic aromas to the wine, making it suitable for short-duration treatments.
  • ORGANOLEPTIC QUALITIES:
    • Heavy Smoked Toasted Oak Chips have a high glycosidic polymer content that produces Heavy Smoked toasted, caramel, and roasted notes and significantly increases the wine’s aromatic complexity. 
  • DOSAGE:
    • In wine, 4 grams per 1 L (33.8 oz), dosage time will depend on the degree of transfer sought and the intensity of the characteristics desired.
    • For chips, treatment time varies between 0 and 4 weeks.
    • Users are recommended to perform prior testing to determine dosage and to taste the wine frequently to identify the optimal treatment time in each case. 
  • INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE:
    • Chips: To optimize the transfer of the oak's beneficial properties to the wine, position the sacks of chips at varying depths within the container.
