NOBISPARK | OAK INSERTS FOR BIDULES

 

The search for the finest balance between the natural compounds of oak and sparkling wines during alcoholic fermentation has led us to develop NOBISPARK. This oenological bidule is the result of a project to develop the use of oak during the second fermentation. Used in the same way as a classic bidule, NOBISPARK does not require any specific equipment when it is inserted after filling the bottle.

​​

​

  • NOBISPARK FRESH  BIDULE | Enhance and “clean” the fruitiness of the base wine without adding any toast character, it is neutral. Aromatic complexity.

​​

  • NOBISPARK SENSATION BIDULE | Keeps the fruit while adding sweetness, light vanilla & toasted notes; brings a slight oak character to the wine.

​​

​

Time of ageing is a minimum recommendation of 4 months up to 12 months,

but can also go beyond 12 months.

 

​

Dosage for 1 Nobispark is 0.7g/L
