Ellagitan Barrique Liquid is a premium liquid ellagic tannin derived from high-quality toasted oak, formulated to bring the complexity and refinement of barrel aging into a fast, flexible, and efficient format. Ideal for use in both fermentation and maturation phases, it imparts sweet toasted oak characters such as vanilla, coconut, and subtle spice, while enhancing mouthfeel and phenolic integration. Vanilla is particularly enhanced. Very useful in wines that need added structure or aromatic lift, Ellagitan Barrique also plays a supporting role in color stabilization, especially when used in the early stages of red winemaking. Its liquid form ensures rapid homogenization, making it a versatile tool for final blending and polishing.
Usage Protocol

Dilute in 10 parts wine or water before adding to the tank or barrel.
-
Add during fermentation, post-fermentation, or during aging, depending on the desired effect.
-
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
-
Bench trials are strongly recommended to determine the ideal dose based on wine style and desired outcome.
