STORY: Those of you who cook know that if you season as you go versus seasoning at the end, you’ll get a better seasoned dish. The same logic applies with wine when you ferment in barrel. Fermenting in barrel leads to better integration of the wood and interesting textural change. The wine becomes silky and elegant. The downside is it is very laborious to produce and therefore, we only make 4 barrels of this wine per year.
