<br>The classic oak adjunct – medium-sized pieces of oak. Attentive aging of the oak and uniform toasting ensures a quality product that can be used with confidence. Offered in the following toast levels: dry un-toasted, light, medium, and medium plus. French Oak brings more complex aromas as well as tanning which helps the color and structure. <br> <br>USE: In aging both red and white wines, chips are used when rapid turnover is important. Thanks to their small size and large surface area, extraction can be accomplished in 3-5 weeks. In the classic tea-bag form (chips restricted to a nylon bag), they are remarkably easy to use and require no modification to existing stainless tanks. Chips allow for the contribution of structure and oak aromas when barrel aging is not an option. Due to the rapid extraction of aromas and tannins a period of evolution in the wine can be expected after treatment – with a softening over time. <br> <br>A useful tool in the fermentation of white wines, the chip’s size allows them to be used in the classic tea-bag form (chips restricted to a nylon bag). The un-toasted chip, when used at this stage, will add structure and aid in the elimination of reductive characteristics, while stabilizing color and allowing for the natural expression of the fruit. When aging white wines with chips, it is recommended to do so on lees. <br> <br>Sold in 22 lbs Bags. <br> FO–M–MP–10A
