Œnological objectives
Granulars Light are lightly toasted woods designed to bring floral notes to the nose and freshness to the palate.
For what type of wine ?
Granulars Light fit perfectly with ripe or over-ripe wines that lack freshness. An interesting wood to work with in warm vintages on white, rosé and red wines.
Direction for use
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.
Application during fermentation ensures better integration with the wine while
enhancing freshness on the palate.
How much to apply ?
The dosage of Granulars Light should be adapted according to the level of ripeness
of the grapes and vintage. Between 1 and 2 g/L for white, rosé and red wines. Be
careful not to exceed 2 g/L, the wood could have an impact on the varietal aroma
(woody 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.
