All About OakWhat effect does Barrel Aging have on the overall quality of a wine? Aging in wood barrels makes the flavors of the wine more interesting and softens the texture. When we use an oak barrel, some of the flavor soaks into the wine and gives it an oaky aroma. Different types of barrels will give off different aromas to the wine. The major differences are the origin and type of oak, and the barrel maker (or Cooperage) who made the barrel. At Grape Beginnings we buy barrels from several "Top-Quality" Cooperages. Bottom Line! Barrel Aging creates more complex flavors and helps the aromas harmonize with each other. The wood of the barrel is slightly porous allowing the flavor compounds in the wine to change and combine with each other because of a slow oxygen exchange as the wine ages. At Grape Beginnings , a variety of barrels are available to you depending on the style of Private-Label Wine you wish to produce.
"Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy."
-Benjamin Franklin
