A Unique Blend of French and European Oak at a Competitive Price
NAPA, Jan 19th, 2022 — The Vicard Group is proud to announce a new tannin selection range using a blend of French and European Oak. The new range, “Seduction” offers the precision of tannin selection, unique toasts, and reproducible profiles at a competitive overall cost.
Controlling tannins, lactones and toasted notes during coopering is extremely difficult to achieve. Today, Vicard Generation 7 is the only cooperage in the world to scan every stave for tannin level using NIRS and toasts with a patented, radiant heat system controlled by computers and accurate to +/-3˚C. This state-of the-art system achieves the most reproducible and reliable barrel in the industry.
As with the highly regarded 100% French Oak range, “Seduction” barrels are coopered to low, medium or high tannin and the extensive selection of toasting options, including the ultra-low toasts yielding zero toasted notes, are available. The tannin selection range also includes weOAK tank staves and barrel inserts, to give winemakers a full range of precision oak products to meet any enological need or price point.
