Toast Levels
• Light Toast fresh oak, coconut and fruit flavors.
• Medium Toast has less tannins but more bouquet, so will impart more aroma than flavor. A warm, sweet character with strong vanilla overtones.
• Medium Plus Toast is between Medium and Heavy Toast. It has aromas of honey, roasted nuts and a hint of coffee and spices. Ideal toast level for most red wines
• Heavy Toast brings pronounced caramelized, carbonized and toast flavors very quickly. It is most often used in big, bold red wines
