Wines Aged in Wood

Once the wine has been vinified, it must acquire a certain maturity before going into the bottle, understanding maturity as the result of smoothing out any imbalance, especially moderating acidity, both in reds and whites. It will also add flavor which will give the wine aromatic complexity.

Some substances present in the wood are transmitted to the wine, which will give it flavor and character after its aging process. The wine can end up impregnated with woody 'notes', which translate into smoky and vanilla flavors in reds, and toasted, coconut or dried fruit flavors in whites.
