Balance, finish, and enhance.

Increase perceived wine quality while abbreviating aging time.

Evaporative Extraction technology produces oenological wine tannins with superior oak complexity and aroma.

PROBLEM 1:

Traditional oak aging methods are not economically feasible for the majority of wine consumed worldwide.

The profit margin for low and mid-price tier wines is razor thin – yet these categories represent the highest amount of wine consumed worldwide.

Barrel aging methods are not economically feasible for low and mid-price tier wines and the use of currently available oak alternatives still requires time and significant material handling. Quality is often negatively impacted.

SOLUTION 1:

Aroma Sciences whole barrel tannins enable lower price tier wines to be picked as more expensive in double blind tests.

Aroma Sciences Whole Barrel Tannins™ enable lower price wines to be picked as more expensive wines in blind tests.

The addition of very low doses Whole Barrel Tannins can increase the price-point of wine by dollars, thereby improving wine producer margins, product quality, and consumer satisfaction.

If other products could accomplish this, they would have already been discovered and used by major producers.

PROBLEM 2:

Conventional oak extracts lack aromatic depth and character are not a substitute for barrel or oak aging

No other extraction technology has been able to capture the true essence of oak in a way that replicates barrel aromatics imparted by time. Current oak tannins are devoid of vibrant aromatic profiles that make a great barrel aged wine.

Even the best currently available oak extracts either (1) taste artificial or (2) have almost no aroma.

SOLUTION 2:

Whole Barrel Tannins impart authentic aromatic profiles.

Aroma Sciences Whole Barrel Tannins are directly evaporated and captured from former French oak wine barrels and American oak spirits barrels using our exclusive, internationally patented Evaporative Extraction process.

We provide the most accurate oak profile ever produced in a convenient liquid format.

Bench Testing

HOW TO TEST IN WINE

A simple starting point evaluation guide

Aroma Sciences Whole Barrel Tannins can be used to balance wine and increase perceived quality, and to enhance and abbreviate aging time. As an initial starting point, we recommend pouring a few 5-ounce glasses of the same wine and comparing different dose levels of whole barrel tannins to an undosed sample.

(See dose chart at bottom of page.)
