NOBILE® American oak chips are a premium winemaking/distilling oak product made from American white oak (Quercus alba). They’re designed to give some of the flavour and maturation effects of an oak barrel, but much faster and with far greater control.

Made from fresh American oak that has been air dried, then processed and toasted under controlled conditions.

What they contribute

American oak is generally more assertive aromatically than French oak. With these chips you can expect flavours/aromas along the lines of:

• Vanilla
• Sweet oak
• Caramel/toffee
• Mild smoke/toast
• Coconut-like oak lactones
• Increased impression of body and sweetness
  

How Much to Use For NOBILE chips, the manufacturer's professional winemaking guidance is approximately 1–5 g/L, depending on the wine and desired oak intensity. For finished wine, their broader recommendation is typically 1–4 g/L for reds and 0.5–3 g/L for whites.
