Powder
Our XOV French Oak powder provides sweet, soft tannins for use during every stage of winemaking.
During fermentation it will minimize vegetal characters and provide co-pigmentation to bind color and tannins while
giving a quick dose of sweet oak just prior to bottling.
Chips
Available in XOV & XOS profiles in several different sizes ranging from ferment size to maturation and aging.
Mini-Staves / Blocks
For quicker extraction, ease of use, reduced cost and flexibility, many winemakers now prefer this configuration.
Our XOV, convection toast, French Oak Mini-Staves provide a soft, sweet, creamy, round mouth feel while our French
Traditional radiant toast Mini-Staves mimic a barrel, with more chocolate/mocha-type characteristics.
They are easy to mix and match for greater complexity, as packaging is all in 5/11 lb. infusion bags. Dose rate is 2-5 grams
per liter. Extraction, depending on the size, is from 3 - 8 weeks.
Finishing Oak
3-year aged French oak blocks and segments are cut across the grain for quicker extraction. Emphasis with these
is on their lovely aromatics and less noticeable tannins, and they are used prior to bottling or for maturation. Packaging
is in 5/11 lb. infusion bags. Dose rate is 2-5 grams per liter. Extraction, depending on size, is 3-8 weeks.
Inserts
French XOV & Traditional profiles available as inserts through the bung. Easy to install and extremely affordable.
Liquid Oak Tannins
Newest technology employs both French and American oak for flavor and structure. For immediate use prior to bottling. Extremely easy and cost-effective.
Tank Staves
Tank staves act most like a barrel by integrating with the
wine slowly. Made in convection ovens for 24 + hours, the
flavor profiles of the staves are high in vanillins and
low in tannins; ideal for today's wines.
Standard size is: 36” x 2½” x 3/8”=
1.45 square feet, Medium Toast with two 1” holes 33½”
apart. Custom sizes up to 8' long are available.
Suggested at 120-200 square feet per 1,000 gallons for
30-50% of a new barrel, these tank staves should be used,
as would be a new barrel.
