Description

Oak cubes approximately 1 cm square, made from seasoned French Oak and produced in the USA. Oak cubes take longer to impart their character to the wine than chips, but the flavor can be superior due to the higher volume of unexposed wood in the cube. Medium toast is our most popular level and provides good oak flavor and character. Recommended usage is 2 oz to 4 oz per 5 gallons of wine.

This is my go to oak, I love it. When I am trying to polish up a mead this is what I use.

I like medium toast french oak and this was a less expensive alternative to the other cubes. I like cubes because I tend to leave my red wine on oak for at least 6 months

Should these cubes be soaked in potassium metabisulfite before being put into a 5-gallon carboy?
Peter M. C on Oct 3, 2020
BEST ANSWER: I have been using them for over10 years without any issue and have never soaked them.
I follow the rule that wineries use. They don't soak their new oak barrels in potassium metabisulfite before using.

More importantly is that you have your free SO2 at proper levels when you add the cubes
Does Stavin produce these cubes?
