Fermentation
Bag of 10 Kg
XtraChêne Granular oak is used during the alcoholic fermentation process, and is available plain (fresh), or toasted.
Fresh Granular oak is ideal for revealing the aromatic potentiality of wines and spirits. Granular oak can impart finesse, elegance and sweetness, while inhibiting juice oxidation. Toasted XtraChêne Granular oak helps to lessen the green taste when grapes are not fully ripe.
