These staves reveal characteristic aromas of vanilla, coconut, and subtle spices, while preserving the fruit. Perfect for complex red and white wines, they add roundness, smoothness, and structure, with well-integrated tannins.

- Aromatic complexity: Signature notes of vanilla, coconut, and spices that blend harmoniously with the wine profile.
- Certified for organic winemaking: Suitable for organic use, certified by ECOCERT (EU & NOP).
- Dimensions: 18x50x950 mm; 500g per stave.

Our Oak Barrel Inserts are specifically designed to rejuvenate used wine barrels by reintroducing essential wood compounds that enhance the complexity and persistence of your wine. As barrels age, they gradually lose their ability to impart these desirable characteristics—after just one year, a barrel releases about 60% of its oenological potential, and by the third year, it primarily offers micro-oxygenation with minimal wood compound contribution. These inserts provide a cost-effective and sustainable solution to extend the life of your barrels and elevate the quality of your wine.

Key Features:
Revitalize Used Barrels:
- Extend the life of your barrels by replenishing their ability to impart desirable oak characteristics, reducing the need to purchase new barrels.

Thick Sticks for Slow Infusion:
- The substantial thickness ensures a slow and consistent release of wood compounds, enhancing complexity and providing a lingering finish to your wine.

Equivalent to a Seasoned Barrel:
- Achieve the effects of a one year barrel's contribution without replacing your existing barrels.

Stainless Steel Linkage:
- The oak sticks are connected by a neutral, recyclable, and durable stainless steel link, ensuring purity of flavor and ease of handling.

Cost-Effective and Sustainable:
- Optimize resources by maximizing the utility of your barrels and minimizing waste, aligning with eco-friendly winemaking practices.
