Three main benefits:
• It is a very efficient protection against oxidation: this is due to the high rate of tannins (ellagitanins) in French Oak (between 5 and 10%). Ellagitanins take the oxygen and therefore make sure that tannins or pigments of the grapes are not oxidized.
• It can remove a great part of vegetal aromas (whenever grapes are not picked at their full maturity).
• It gives some degree of strength and power to must or wines
Can be used in the trucks or at the crusher.
