Liquid Oak
WiseTan is an easy-to-use liquid form of oak that we extract on site. Utilising freshly toasted chips of your choice, including HiVan and Low Tannin oak, we extract the oak into a liquid form. The main benefits winemakers are finding is that WiseTan saves time, as well as being cleaner and easier to use at the winery.
