EXTRATAN AMERICAN OAK is a liquid preparation based on American oak tannins, concentrated and stabilized with gum arabic (E414, Acacia Senegal). It is used to enhance wine structure and develop characteristic coconut and vanilla notes.
The use of this product allows winemakers to obtain the principal polyphenolic compounds associated with oak aging, but with softer and less aggressive sensory characteristics, similar to those that can normally be extracted only during maturation in oak barrels.
Wines treated with ExtraTan American Oak are characterized by broad aromatic complexity and distinctive vanilla notes, while maintaining these desirable characteristics over time. In addition, ExtraTan American Oak has a strong ability to reduce reductive off-odors, as it contains one or more carbonyl groups capable of acting as electron acceptors toward sulfur-containing thiol compounds.
