I have a Red Zin that is going to be racked shortly and I wanted to add some additional oak to it. The kit came with 30oz of Copeaux de Chenes and after talking to the local wine supply shop this is what they have.
They sell it by the pound and offer these types:
Hungarian
French
American
I'm assuming that because I started with French I would want to stick with that? Is there like a recommendation on how much oak a Zin should have? Or is it just by taste? I don't want a extremely heavy oak taste but I would like it to be noticeable, so how much oak do you think I should add? Also they sell the oak in cubes and chips, I think the cubes would work better but I dont know.
