North Mountain Supply American Oak Chips Medium Toast 1 Pound

Oak chips are intended for use in all phases of winemaking. They contribute to the reduction of vegetal characters, bind color, and build middle body and mouth feel when used during fermentation. Post fermentation will tend to offer noticeable toasty oak components, lift the nose and enhance the body of the wine. In addition, it will impart premium oak characteristics. A small amount added just prior to bottling will heighten the finished oak character and leave a lingering toasty quality. American Medium Toast provides complex, pleasantly mild and delicate toasted oak characters and aromas of vanilla, caramel, chocolate, hazelnut, oatmeal with honey, graham cracker, with a touch of coconut and clove. The flavors provide sweetness, creaminess and roundness to the mouth feel with a lingering non-aggressive toast character.
