Product Description

StaVin Oak Beans

Whether in tank or barrel, when you have less time to oak your wine or just want to touch up your wine, use the StaVin Oak Bean. The Beans are cut from our minimum three-year seasoned, Fire Toasted staves and offer a quicker extraction rate while delivering the same complex flavor compounds as our staves.

We also offer two other bagged products for tanks using two additional toasting preparations, the Savour Oak String Bean and Barrel Head Long Bean, which can be used separately or in combination with the Fire Toasted Beans. Blending these products, with micro-oxygenation, will enable you to replicate any of your favorite barrels.

Conveniently, for those who want to avoid opening the heads of their barrels, Oak Beans can be deployed loose in the barrel or with an Infusion Tube.

During fermentation Beans are a natural oak product for initiating the stabilization of color and for cross-linking tannins. Early use of Beans in red wine production helps build a wine’s structure, which will improve mouthfeel and tend to deepen the color of a red wine.
