OAK CHIPS

Product Description
XTRAOAK oak chips are a highly versatile and cost effective winemaking tool. Produced at our own mills from naturally seasoned American and French oak, XTRAOAK oak chips can add attractive oak flavors and aromas to wines. They are especially useful during red wine fermentations in stabilizing color and moderating overly vegetal character (methoxyprazines).

Applications
XTRAOAK oak chips may be added during or after fermentation. They can be added in loose form to red fermenters or suspended in tanks via immersible "soaking" bags. The suggested usage rate is 2 - 4 grams per liter. Recommended contact time varies according to particular applications, but full extraction will usually occur within 8 weeks. A small grade and powdered version of this product is also available upon request.

Features
Naturally seasoned American and French oak. Economical and convenient alternative to barrel insert system. Very economical and easy to use. Multiple benefits and uses.
