  • THE BEST OF OAK

ŒNOFINISHER® components come exclusively from the best selection and maturation processes of oak used by our cooperages. Raw material quality is rigorously checked at every stage of the ŒNOFINISHER® manufacturing process, giving you guaranteed precision and regularity.

Did You Know?
  • When oak is reduced to small chips, most of its volatile compounds are extracted in a few days only: the wood 'grain' having been cut, rapid extraction is in fact favored.
  • The same compound may have a different effect depending on its concentration in the wine and its possible sensory interactions with other molecules. We have taken these phenomena into account while formulating OENOFINISHER®. OENOFINISHER® was designed to provide specific, stable profiles for the duration of your wines' and spirits' commercial lives, even at very low doses. Our R&D work has shown excellent stability in the results at least 2 years after treatment.

Implementation          

 

Implementation

Infuse OENOFINISHER® in the wine/spirit using the provided infusion net. This enables easy removal of the chips, and the treatment presents no risk of pump deterioration. To ensure an optimal extraction, we recommend a short and regular stirring of OENOFINISHER®, twice to 3 times a week (10% of the volume by pumping or nitrogen injection). To fully benefit from the properties of OENOFINISHER®, wines should be covered in free SO2 (20 à 30 mg/L). The infusion bag is sufficiently fine, so as to not modify the filterability. Treatment is possible both after filtration and just before filtration between packaging and bottling. For spirits, treatment may lead to slight haziness in the liquid; we recommend treatment prior to stabilization, then filtration.
