28 WINES&VINES May 2018 PRODUCT NEWS Water-immersion barrel Tonnellerie Quintessence launched its Hydro-Pure barrel, which is the second barrel in the cooperage's Hydro Collection line of barrels built with oak that has undergone a water immersion process. During the immersion, water is continually circulated around the wood resulting in ac- celerated tannin extraction. After immersion, the barrels are toasted with a minimal process to provide softer mouthfeel with "vibrant fruit, florals, softly toasted oak, balanced acidity and a subtle fin- ish." The supplier recommends the barrel for fruit-driven white wines. tonnelleriequintessence.fr Premium-gloss paper for UV ink-jet printing UPM Raflatac released Premium Gloss UVI that it described as "the highest-quality, premium- gloss paper label stock for UV ink-jet printing on the market."
