ABC Crafted Series Oak Chips - Iberian Air Dried Untoasted (3.5 oz)

ABC Crafted Series Iberian Air Dried Untoasted Oak Chips contains 3.5 oz (100g) of ideally sized chips, perfect for small-batch winemaking. Adding these chips enchances the wine's organoleptic properties by transferring compounds in the aroma and flavor phase. Untoasted oak has high concentrations of ellagitannin, a well-regarded natural antioxidant. Ideal for use in winemaking thanks to their fine grain, high porosity, and permeability.

The oak's slow component transfer makes them well suited for medium to long treatments. Enhances aromatic complexity by infusing vanilla and spice aromas while preserving the wine's natural fruitiness due to the slow gradual transfer. When applied during alcoholic fermentation, Aero Untoasted oak chips (untoasted, but dried in the open air for a prolonged length of time) enhance the wine's floral and varietal aromas. Their high antioxidant capacity preserves the wine's fruity notes and helps stabilize its color. It's high ellagitannin contents reinforces tannin's presence in the mouthfeel, increasing the sensations of silkiness and volume.

We recommend using a muslin bag to contain the oak chips while soaking for easy removal and ease of transferring.
