COMPANY PROFILE

Oak Wise Inc. is considered an essential business by the state and will remain available to accept requests and orders to serve the alcohol industry during this trying time.

However, to protect our customers and staff the following changes to our operations will take place effective immediately and will continue through the pandemic as the shelter-in-place directives are in effect:

Our office and warehouse are no longer available to the public. Our office will remain locked throughout business hours. Orders will be couriered via LTL carrier or parcel carrier. Orders can be picked up from our warehouse by our customers by scheduled appointment only.

All orders are to be placed with as much lead time as available. Our staff will be coming in to pull essential orders only. Samples can be requested; however, same day service is no longer available. Please email your request and expect 1-2 business days processing on top of standard transit time.

Please note there are already nationwide delays in transit for parcel and truck carriers. Please keep this in mind when ordering. FedEx has marked many shipments as undeliverable to shelter-in-place zones; e.g. a shipment destined to San Francisco was marked as undeliverable and had to be re-routed to ship center for customer pickup. Another example is LTL carriers are postponing pickups and have some shipment loading delays exceeding 5+ hours for sorting essential and non-essential shipment loads. We thank you for your patience during this time as shipping delays may be outside our control.

*International customers are advised to contact their customs brokers prior to ordering to verify if shipments can be cleared to cross borders.

We encourage our customers to evaluate their immediate needs through the next few months and order as soon as they possibly can. As of now we are still able to accommodate orders and ship them, however, if the parcel and truck shipping companies change priorities we might lose our ability to accommodate customer’s needs.

We will send updates regarding changes to operations as the situation evolves.

Please contact daniel.dooley@oak-wise.com for warehouse, order and sample related requests or mel.coronado@oak-wise.com for technical advice and sales.

Our office line is available during standard business hours (209) 224-5353 if you have any questions.

Thank you for your continued business. Our team at Oak Wise hopes for your continued health and safety during this time.

Wines containing vegetal or microbial notes often can benefit from the enhanced structure that high quality untoasted oak can provide. The compounds from untoasted oak chips can serve to integrate and increase the fruit character of wine at fermentation and when added at the crusher, can benefit white and red wine by:

1. Improving the flavor of your final wine by enhancing fruit character and mouthfeel

2. Masking reductive, herbal and vegetal aromas

3. Stabilizing color

4. Managing and mitigating smoke taint

Oak Wise currently offers 30lb poly bags of French and American Untoasted Fine Chip and 50lb poly bags of American Oak dust.

Oak Wise is committed to ensuring their customers not only receive the best customer support as possible but also a consistently well made product. Our customers will come back and order from us because our product is going to be the same this year as it was when they purchased it last year. To ensure this we make sure to go above and beyond in house with our own sensory trials, laboratory analysis, and specific recipes, however, it is important to not rely on only one set of eyes. 

Having a third party audit is important as it brings a separate unaffiliated and unbiased party to the production facility to find any gaps and to make sure we are honoring our commitment to manufacturing our best possible product. Oak Wise has a well established HACCP system in place as well as recorded good manufacturing practices. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points, or HACCP, is a systematic preventive approach to food safety from biological, chemical, and physical hazards in production processes that can cause the finished product to be unsafe and designs measurements to reduce these risks to a safe level. By finely going through our production steps, identifying any possible hazards and critical control points we are allowing ourselves to think all the ‘what ifs’ and prevent them. Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system for ensuring that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards. It is designed to minimize the risks involved in any production that cannot be eliminated through testing the final product. 

Here at Oak Wise we know the importance of standing behind our quality and will take every opportunity to ensure it. 

Oak Wise believes in the importance of not only taking the time to introduce our products but also to give the opportunity to showcase our products. Trialing products is growing more important in such a diverse oak market. Winemakers are often discouraged and will simply ask what products could best suit their wine; and while we can always offer suggestions, every wine is unique and special and what might work for one might not work for the next. 

Taking the time to lay down a bench trial with a range of products allows winemakers to be properly introduced to the products in their own. This also allows for the winemaker to be introduced to the flavor profiles available from us and allows for the best match for the varietal. 

We’d love to hear from you! If you have an interest in our products and want to get started with the trial we’d encourage you to stop by our website and request some samples. Let us know what sort of profile you might be interested in or perhaps other wines that have been your inspiration and we can create a kit to suit your needs. Or we can send just a regular variety to introduce the possibilities available. Allow Oak Wise to help bring complexity to your craft beyond the barrel.

Oak Wise 100% Natural Aqueous Enological Oak Tannins represent a quantum leap in the science and efficacy of oak additions for beverage production. They are a family of liquid oak tannins which give winemakers, brewers and distillers complete control over all the organoleptic and structural elements that oak provides to beverages.

Our tannins are suitable for use in beverage production and comply with 27 CFR 24.246 of the Alcohol, Tobacco Tax & Trade Bureau (TTB) Electronic Code of Federal Regulations e-CFR when used at our recommended dosage rates.

Premiere is a range of structuring aqueous oak tannins. In wine, they can be added at primary or malolactic fermentation and aging. Premiere will assist in binding pyrazines, aid in color fixation, and tannin polymerization. In wine, the recommended dose rate for Premiere  is 0.2 ml/L – 5.0 ml/L added as late as 48 hours prior to bottling. In spirits, Premiere can be added before bottling or during alcohol dilution prior to barrel aging.  For use in spirits, we recommend using Premiere up to 20% of the makeup of water volume.

Finissage is a range of clear finishing tannins for use in finished wines or to adjust the astringency in cider, beer or spirits. Finissage will soften mouthfeel and increase the fruit aromatics. In wine, the recommended dose rate is 0.2 ml/L – 5 ml/L. In beer and spirits, we recommend adding Finissage to the finished product between 0.5 ml/L to 5 ml/L. Finissage can be added up to 48 hours before filtration or bottling.

Premiere CT is a range of concentrated aqueous oak tannins. CT will assist in increasing the aromatics of oak characteristics such as toast, spice and the complexity of any beverage. CT will help produce a final product that denotes extended barrel aging. Dose rates from 0.1 – 2ml/L
