The appeal of barrel aging

What is barrel aging?

Barrel aging involves aging wine in oak barrels (made of oak or Japanese oak) rather than in stainless steel. By placing the wine in an oak barrel, the color, aroma, and flavor of the barrel are transferred to the aging wine.

As the wine ages, it turns golden in color, has a gorgeous aroma, and develops a rich, full-bodied flavor.


Five points to keep in mind when drinking barrel-aged wine

  1. Golden wine color (white wine)
  2. Unique fragrant barrel aroma
  3. One sip and you'll feel a rush of satisfaction
  4. Vanilla and nutty flavors hidden behind fruit aromas
  5. A rich, full-bodied flavor with a long finish
