4oz American Chips, Untoasted.
Untoasted oak chips add structure to a wine by increasing its perceived mouthfeel. This is done through the infusion of the wood`s tannin into the wine. This tannin also help to stabilize the wine`s color and clarity by promoting the falling-out of unstable haze causing proteins.. They will allow you to imitate storing your wine in an oak barrel without the expense.
