OAK: ALTERNATIVES: POWDER
Pronektar Powder (French Oak)
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.
