Beaverdale Borolo - to oak or not to oak?

I've not done this one before. Any advice on whether it's best oaked or not?

It's down to personal choice really, do you like your wine oaky or not? For the record, I always add the oak sachets to red wines, but not white wine. The oak sachets add a subtle, but not overpowering "oakiness" to the wine.

Thanks for that. I was not wanting a too strong oak flavour and the bag of chips seemed quite large - thus was thinking of only using part of it. However, if it's subtle I might use th ewhole lot.
