Œnological objectives
Sticks Inside Highlight reinforce the tannic structure of the wine without adding toasted notes. The main objective is to improve the level of concentration on the palate and intensify fruit expression.
For what type of wine ?
Stick Inside Highlight fit perfectly with fresh, fruity wines that lack body on the palate. These œnological woods can be used on white, rosé and red wines.
Direction for use
When is the right time to apply ?
Application in AF ensures better integration with the wine, while enhancing tannic concentration on the palate.
A post-MLF application during ageing brings out the full aromatic complexity of this wood, with its notes of whisky lactone, while preserving its impact on the palate.
How much to apply ?
The dosage of Stick Inside Highlight should be adapted according to the desired oenological objective. Insert 1 to 3 chains per barrel through the bung hole. The contribution of a 12-segment chain is estimated at ± 30% of a new 225-litre barrel.
What is the contact time for these Sticks Inside ?
During fermentation : leave the staves in the wine during the whole vinification, with an ageing period of 4 to 8 months.
