- Medium plus toast French oak beans.
French medium plus toast oak beans. Adds a barrel aged flavor. 'StaVin' oak beans are 3/8" cubes of oak that produce superior flavors in wine. They are made with 3 year old air dried oak from the center of France and then traditionally fire toasted. Superior flavor is due to bean density which produces less phenolics and more rounded flavors. Used by many of the best wineries around the world. Use 2.5 oz per 5 gallons of wine.
