Staves sorted by tannin potential
weOAK® offers a range of STAVE inserts sorted by tannin potential, using the same technology as the VICARD GENERATION 7 range (analytical selection and molecular toasting). Combining these processes allows us to adapt the toast to the raw material, and to develop reproducible aromatic expressions.

Product benefits
Three thicknesses for greater precision, complexity, and integration:
weSTAVE 7 mm is ideal for very short-term aging.
weSTAVE 11mm is designed for gradual contributions over a reasoned period.
weSTAVE 17mm allows gradual and lasting additions by promoting a gradual diffusion of oak compounds.
Each profile also available in MINI version
