Why Use Oak?
Oak has been a trusted partner to winemakers for centuries, bringing complexity, balance, and character to every bottle. When wine interacts with oak, it takes on subtle layers of flavor—vanilla, spice, caramel, or toast—while developing a smoother, more rounded mouthfeel. Beyond taste, oak enhances color stability, refines aromas, and helps integrate tannins for a more prestige finish.
