For the Love of OAK!

1/12/2022

As you already know, oak comes in many forms. (starts with a tree…….or an acorn) You probably never imagined that someone as devoted to incredibly good quality barrels as I am would ever suggest anything but barrels and tanks as a solution. We advocate for using the finest barrels and tanks you can get when your process calls for oak influence. But what about the ways that other forms of oak can improve the process?

Meet EBX liquid tannins

Unlike all other powder and liquid tannins, EBX is developed by *cold soaking* the oak in RO water (just like in one of my “incredibly good quality barrels”) #othertannins are heated, cooked, boiled and everything is extracted from the wood……including the characteristics you may not want in your wines………..(probably wouldn’t heat your wine before barrel aging now, eh?)

This (EBX Product Range chart) gives you the magic formula for your enological mysticism………..what to use, how to use and when to use it!

Liquid Tannin EBX Enological Tannin Oak Alternatives Oak Adjuncts Oak Additive

In combination with a great barrel program, liquid tannin can be used on the crush pad, in the fermenter, in the blend tank and at bottling. You have many opportunities to improve your product with budget- friendly, high quality, EBX liquid tannin.

On the crush pad:
Fermentation tannins for color extraction and color stability
EBX 810   pure untoasted French Oak powder…………..a winemakers’ delight!
EBX VBX   a blend of tannins for the more challenging vinification, designed for flash détente with a very high GAE, liquid or powder form

In the fermenter: same as above…………….lower dosing.
Call us for a specific tailoring for your harvest. We can design a program you will be thrilled with. I Promise.

Maturation and Finishing:
Study this Product Range Chart. This array of products represents years of careful development by 6th generation oak aficionado Stephane Radoux (no longer affiliated with Tonnellerie Radoux)

-EBX 10   PURE untoasted French Oak
-EBX 12   FRUIT expression from a light toasting of French Oak
-EBX 13   SMOOTH vanillin expression from a medium toasting
-EBX 14   SPICE     ahh……..this one is very cool…………just a dab behind each ear before you hit the dance floor

-EBX 22 Our one American Oak light toast tannin…….btw we age the AO for 36 months minimum………..none of this 12 months and out business. Delightful tannin.

You will be very pleased with these products. No more fining to remove the bitter character you added with your *other* tannin. Brings out the fruit aromas while balancing the body to the best showing of your winegrapes.

That One Time- When Making Wine in the East Was Easier?

12/20/2021

Ahh, the good old days! Remember when you could order equipment, supplies, or barrels and they showed up on time?

Well, in 2020 our barrel customers in the East who ordered before or by the barrel ordering deadline had no issues with delivery before harvest at all. We were lucky. The reason? We shipped our D&J and Vallaurine barrels for customers in the eastern half of the U.S. to an eastern port. And it worked very well.

Unlike some of the cooperages who rely solely on west coast ports, we delivered within a safe, relaxed margin of time for almost everyone.

Even so, we are making a small change to the way the barrels ship next year. Please expect them to be in a package similar to what is pictured below when they arrive at your winery.

Again for 2022, we will be shipping a (larger) container to an eastern port near you. And with respect to the supply chain concerns we all have, we will be pulling the order deadline back a little to guarantee a safe margin in time.

Contact Us to discuss your barrel needs for 2022.

Shopping for Machines? Be Advised.

11/18/2021

The cost of raw materials and supply- chain interruption will be felt.

Looking forward to shopping for a Carlsen Crushpad during trade show season? You might do well to start the dialogue now.

Traditional lead times meant that we could get your stuff delivered with no stress before harvest if you ordered by the end of March.

Material prices are higher than a year ago, and this is could be felt at the time of purchase if you wait until 2022 to place your order.

If you are thinking about some new goodies for the crush pad, please give us a call or drop us an email now.

Paying Too Much for Champagne Corks?

6/18/2021

This innovation might help.

Enotools is offering a twist on the traditional Sparkling Wine closure. And actually, it's worth noting that this change should be widely adopted. Your margins are under more pressure now than ever before. And bubbles take work.

Spark Top One

Introducing the Spark Top One. Amorim uses the same material and body of the traditional sparkling closure in this cork. The only difference is the number of disks on the bottom.

The body (sides) of the cork do the heavy lifting by being the seal in the bottle. The body of this closure can withstand more pressure than the bottle it goes into.

If you cannot imagine someone aging your sparkling for ten years, then this single- disk version of the sparkling closure is for you!

Why not start saving money on your sparkling closure today?

When you MUST Pump Must!

6/8/2021

Gentle by Design....

The two items above are the Dream Team in pumping must.

The Waukesha 130 Positive Displacement Pump has winged rotors, super- tight clearance, and variable speed control. It is incapable of macerating grapes. When paired with our must sump, you will see more whole berries, fewer broken seeds, and the least solids increase when using the pump for moving must.

The Carlsen & Associates Must Sump gently delivers the grapes into the vacuum stream created by the pump. The change in air pressure moves the fruit to the press or fermentor unharmed. The must sump has a flight edged auger, which rides on the bottom of the trough- no bearing needed.

After harvest, the Waukesha goes back to being the best pump the winery could ask for when moving juice or wine, bottling, racking, doing pumpovers, or filtration.

When you have to move must mechanically, buy the best and have no regrets.
