Innerstave Oak Complements add traditional barrel characteristics to wine with greater control and consistency than barrels.
-
flavor specificity
Innerstave has been working with the same oak providers in Central France and the Ozark Plateau Region in the United States for more than 40 years to provide consistent results for winemakers year after year.
oak sourcing benefits
Innerstave has been working with the same trusted oak providers for more than 40 years, giving our products unparalleled consistency in origin.
Our oak products are convection oven toasted, rather than hand-fired. This gives us better control and consistency of our products for winemakers.
Our decades-old process allows winemakers to be more precise with the impact of oak and range of scalability versus what is possible with a traditional oak barrel program.
winemaker testimonial
“The most important thing we do is stabilize the color. One of the additional benefits is it can help reduce or eliminate any vegetal character if the grapes came in with it from the vineyard.”
