DOST-FPRDI pilots improved barrels for fruit wines
- Details
Good news to makers of tropical fruit wines in the Philippines.
Quality yet affordable wine barrels for aging your fruit raw materials may soon be available in the market.
The Department of Science and Technology’s Forest Products Research and Development Institute (DOST-FPRDI) is currently pilot-testing wine barrels made from three tree plantation species (TPS), namely: big-leafed mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla), mangium (Acacia mangium), and river red gum (Eucalyptus camaldulensis) and two fruit trees, namely: santol (Sandoricum koijape) and Indian mango (Mangifera indica).
The wine barrels were developed by the Institute’s researchers to find cheaper substitutes to white oak (Quercus alba) which is known worldwide as the best material for fermenting and ageing wine.
