Oak barrels play an important role when it comes to wine making, as they shape the flavours, aromas and final characteristics of wines we enjoy. At Soma Vineyards, the tradition of maturing wine in oak barrels has been preserved with passion and precision to produce exceptional vintages that capture the essence of the vineyard’s terroir.
Balancing Structure and Tannins
Oak barrels have been used as vessels for transformation, providing a variety of flavors and textures to the wines in which they are housed. The porous nature of the oak means that oxygen is exchanged gently, which facilitates a gradual maturation process enhancing the complexity and depth of this wine.
Each oak barrel at Soma Vineyards is a storyteller, infusing the wine with nuances of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak, which enhance the tasting experience to a whole new level.
Craftsmanship and Tradition
The art of cooperage is well known, with skilled craftsmen who craft oak barrels that are specially tailored to enhance the distinctive characteristics of each wine varietal. The choice of oak influences the wine’s last flavor profile, irrespective of whether it is French, American or Hungary.
