OAK SEGMENTS

Our French oak alternatives are made from high-quality, sustainably sourced raw staves, precisely cut into segments in square or rectangular shapes. These oak segments are ideal for medium-term aging of wine, spirits, and beer, and can be easily integrated into various aging systems—whether in stainless steel tanks or neutral oak barrels.

FLAVOR DIVERSITY THROUGH PRECISE TOASTING LEVELS
Depending on the desired flavor profile, the oak is toasted at different intensities—either using convection ovens or traditional open wood fire. The following toast levels are available:

I Light Toasting: Delicate vanilla and fresh oak notes
I Medium/Medium+ Toasting: Complex aromas of caramel, roasted nuts, and spices
I Heavy Toasting: Bold roasted flavors with hints of dark chocolate and coffee

Each toast level creates a distinct sensory profile, offering targeted options for flavor enhancement and structural refinement.

OAK SEGMENTS FOR MEDIUM-TERM AGING
Our toasted French oak segments are designed for an aging period of at least three months. Their large surface area ensures even flavor extraction, enhancing the product without overpowering its natural character. The result is a balanced harmony between oak and beverage, adding depth, body, and complexity.

These segments can be used in both tanks and neutral barrels to enrich existing aging processes with greater nuance and expression.

FLEXIBLE OAK ALTERNATIVES FOR CUSTOMIZED MATURATION
In addition to French oak segments, we offer a wide range of other oak alternatives:

I Staves – for long-term aging
I Beans – for rapid aroma release
I Barrel Kits – for rejuvenating neutral oak barrels

All options are available in French or American oak and allow for precise customization of flavor development to match your individual production goals.
