Additional information
Sensory analysis
 |
The aromatic and flavour profiles found in the NOBILE® range. The use of extremely delicate heating processes releases volatile compounds from the wood. Our experience and a thorough understanding of this toasting process ensures consistency, reliability and repeatability of the tannins and complex aromatic profiles. |
Scalable effects of toasting on quantity and intensity.
All molecules are measured by gas chromatography at EXCELL laboratory.
In order to meet technical constraints in production, NOBILE® Granulars & Chips allow for better integration and quick stabilisation of oak compounds.
Small-size Granulars are suitable for alcoholic fermentation (for the duration of the AF). For Chips, the contact time recommended is 6 to 8 weeks including if the Chips are introduced right at the beginning of alcoholic fermentation.
Decision-Making Tool
Use our Decision-Making Tools (DMTs) to determine the blend of Chips and Granulars that corresponds to your target product.
