Frequently asked questions about 29832
How many oak chips should I use per 10 liters of wine?
The recommended dose is 5-30 grams per 10 liters of wine depending on the desired oak intensity. Start with 5-10g for a finer character and increase up to 30g for stronger oak notes. Taste the wine regularly during contact to achieve the desired flavor profile.
When should I add oak chips to wine?
Oak chips can be added either during the fermentation or aging phase. Adding oak during fermentation integrates the structure of the wine, while aging offers a more refined flavor extraction. The contact time is from 1-2 days to 3 months depending on the desired result.
Why should I use a mesh bag with oak chips?
The mesh bag holds the chips together and allows them to be easily removed when the desired flavor is achieved. This prevents precipitation from mixing and facilitates filtration. The result is a cleaner wine with no chip particles in the final product.
What does American heavy toast mean?
American heavy toast means heavily toasted American oak chips. This level of roasting produces rich notes of vanilla, caramel, smoke and spice. Suitable for strong red wines and also adds depth to some spirits and beers.
How do oak chips affect the stability of wine?
Oak shavings release natural tannins that improve color stability and extend wine shelf life. Tannins also strengthen the mouthfeel and give a more balanced structure. Together with the fruity flavor notes, the result is a more complete and long-lasting wine.
