NAPA, CA. (February 2, 2026) – Oak Solutions Group announces the launch of Oak Essence Tannins, a new premium finishing tannin line within its trū/tan portfolio. Developed to enhance aromatic complexity, palate sweetness, and mouthfeel, Oak Essence Tannins deliver refined oak expression while preserving varietal integrity.

The Oak Essence Tannins line includes three distinct expressions, Arôme, Harmonie, and Vivacité, each designed to address specific finishing goals. Crafted from cooperage-quality French oak, these tannins are produced using precision toasting and gentle extraction, allowing for impactful results at low, efficient dosage rates.

“Winemakers are increasingly looking for finishing tools that provide precision while respecting the fruit,” said Kyle Sullivan, Global Managing Director for Oak Solutions Group. “Oak Essence Tannins were developed to deliver authentic oak character, aromatic lift, texture, and balance while giving winemakers control and confidence at the final stage.”

Each Oak Essence expression offers targeted benefits. Arôme enhances mid-palate sweetness and smooth texture with lifted mocha and toffee notes. Harmonie builds structure and balance through subtle toasted oak sweetness, deepening complexity while maintaining varietal character. Vivacité brightens fruit expression, softens edges, and extends the finish with freshness and finesse.

“These tannins are designed to integrate seamlessly at finishing,” said Derek Sanchez, Technical Sales Manager for trū/tan. “Their low-dose efficiency allows winemakers to fine-tune aroma, mouthfeel, and balance without overpowering the wine.

Beyond wine, Oak Essence Tannins are also suitable for spirits and low- or no-alcohol beverages, where controlled oak expression and texture are essential. These tannins are available in 250 g packages and further expand the trū/tan portfolio of innovative oak tannins.
