Why is wine aged in oak barrels?![]()
![]()
Oak barrels, the predominant vessels in the wine-aging journey, contribute oxygen, tannins (the essence of red wine), and a rich complexity to the wines they cradle. This method is particularly popular for red wines and Chardonnay. The infusion of oxygen through the oak barrel aids in the maturation of the wine, while tannins work steadfastly to shape and fortify the wine's structure as it evolves over time.![]()
