Œnological objectives
Sticks Inside Medium + add toasty, smoky notes to your wine, and boost aromatic persistence on the finish. The main objective is to bring out intense notes of roast, coffee and mocha.
For what type of wine ?
Stick Inside Medium + fit perfectly on highly mature wines that lack length on the palate. This oenological wood 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 adding sweetness and length. Application during ageing, after MLF, brings out the full aromatic intensity of this wood, with its toasted, coffee and mocha notes, while preserving its impact on the palate.
How much to apply ?
The dosage of Stick Inside Medium + 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.
During ageing : 6 to 10 months, depending on the organoleptic objective targeted.
