Limited Edition Wines

Oak barrels are a common container used to store and age wine. We use the best French and American oak barrels from the finest cooperages.

We will use a mix of new and prior use barrels in order to strike the right balance of aromatics and flavor. New oak imparts a greater amount of sensory character to a wine as the charring inside the barrels is exposed to wine for the first time. Upon re-use, barrels lose the ability to strongly influence aromas and flavors but play an important role as they still help to mellow the character of the wine during ageing. Having wine from both new and prior use barrels provides us greater stocks for blending and also allows the benefits of barrel maturation without the strong wood characters.

A complex and balanced contribution, oak brings a noble structure to the wine, with finesse and elegance, without aggression, preserving the fruit and aromas of the wine.

The aim is to age the high quality wines from the best vineyards, in an ideal barrel to compliment the fruit and the winemaking, and express them at their best.
