Pack of 40 oak staves for winemaking.

Size: 90cm*5cm*2.2 cm.

Staves are a cost-effective alternative to oak barrels. LAGLASSE staves are made from the best wood in the Lorraine forest.

• Staves are made from compact oak wood, with a very fine grain.
• 24 months open-air drying to get rid of unwanted tannins
• Constant monitoring of the industrial process
• Induction heating guarantees constant toast quality
• Packaged in aluminium foil (similar technology to coffee packets) immediately after toasting: preserves aromas inside and prevents contamination from outside smells
• Available in 5 toast levels: fresh wood, L, M, M+, M++.

Which toast level should I choose? Please see aromatic profiles below for more information:

Fresh wood / Light toast / Medium toast / Medium+ toast / Medium++ toast

How to use the 90cm stave: 1 stave for 16 litres provides the same aromatic levels as a new oak barrel. This contact ratio is based on the inner surface of a 225l barrel (Bordeaux or Bourgogne) and the volume of wine, i.e. 0.009 m²/litre. Total aroma extraction is achieved within 12 weeks. Can be used 2 to 3 times.
