TOASTING<\/h4>\n

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The goal of toasting is to induce molecular changes in the composition of the wood through heat, releasing aromas and flavours that enhance a wine.<\/p>\n

At TN Coopers, thanks to our R&D program, we understand toasting as the most critical and crucial stage in the creation of oak products with character. As such, we developed an exclusive and patented convection toasting technique. We toast in a hermetic, specially designed convection oven, which allows for a slow, smooth toasting with unprecedented penetration.<\/p>\n

The main difference with direct flame toasting is that our convection toasting process is controlled by an exclusive software that predicts with certainty the results of the toasting in terms of aromas and flavours.<\/p>\n

This patented software, which controls and registers the temperatures at which the hot air circulates through the convection oven, is a key feature, as it allows us to establish different toasting profiles with repeatability and accuracy, offering the all important consistency to our customers.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Long Convection Toasting – Ambrosia<\/h4>\n

Our Long Convection Toasting (4+ hours) provides excellent aromatic and tannin impact, filling out the mid-palate and giving structure and power. The toasting profile depends on your desires – from sweeter characters to more intense.<\/p>\n

Sweet Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Characterised by its enhanced sweetness and fruitiness, with notes of vanilla, white chocolate, grilled nuts and caramel. The wines persist in the mouth; tannins are soft, sweet and silky.<\/p>\n

Complex Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Generates a complex expression of mocha and notes of caramel, toffee, chocolate and vanilla. On the palate, the wines have excellent volume and structure, with a long and evolving finish.<\/p>\n

Intense Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Recognised by its enhanced spiciness, notes of coffee, dark chocolate, toasted bread, smoke and bacon. On the palate \u2013 the entry is sweet, soft, intense and persistent, with a long finish that evokes toasting flavours.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Traditional Convection Toasting – Odyse<\/h4>\n

Our Traditional Convection Toasting (2 hours) is well known and highly regarded around the world. Using traditional toasting profiles familiar to winemakers, it provides excellent oak support while respecting the varietal and aromatic characters of the wine.<\/p>\n

Medium Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gives excellent background oak structure, supporting the fruit while offering subtle notes of vanilla and perfumed oak.<\/p>\n

Medium Plus Toast<\/strong><\/p>\n

Increased sweetness and toast characters, with more mid-palate richness and a softer tannin evolution.<\/p>\n

Long Convection Toasting - Ambrosia<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

Prolonged toasting periods from 4 hours or more create a gradual and balanced contribution of phenolic compounds and aromas to wines. A powerful bouquet of concentrated flavours, persistence in the finish, and aromatic potency represent iconic attributes to this line of toast.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div>

Traditional Convection Toasting - Odyse<\/h2><\/div>
<\/div>
\n

A large proportion of phenolic compounds contribute to the structure and ability to stabilise colour in red wines. The time and temperature used during the toasting process increases the available polysaccharides which give a sense of volume on the palate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
