Granulars FR MEDIUM

Œnological objectives
Granulars Fr Medium are medium toasted woods designed to bring attractive vanilla notes to the nose and sweetness to the palate.

For what type of wine ?
Granulars Fr Medium fit perfectly with under-ripe wines, in order to ripen the fruit and reduce the intensity of the vegetal component. An interesting wood to work with on thermo red wines or on fresh vintages in order to gain sweetness and length.

When is the right time to apply ?
The granular format allows you to extract the potential of the wood in the wine very quickly (3 to 5 days). It is an interesting format for alcoholic fermentation. Used during fermentation, it supports the fresh fruit aromas and reduces the vegetal intensity.

How much to apply ?
The dosage of Granulars Fr Medium should be adapted according to the level of ripeness of the grapes and vintage. Between 1 and 3 g/L for white, rosé and red wines. Beyond 2 g/L, this wood could have an impact on the varietal aroma (vanilla notes).

What is the contact time for these granulars ?
During fermentation : the time required for vinification. A period of 3 to 5 days is necessary to
extract the full potential of the wood (aromatic and contribution to the palate).
During ageing : an application is always possible during ageing. A contact time of 1 to 2 months is recommended to ensure proper integration into the wine.
