How Does Oak Influence White Wine? Ever wondered how oak barrels influence the flavor and character of white wines? In this engaging video, we’ll explore the fascinating role that different types of oak play in shaping a wine’s aroma, taste, and texture. We’ll start by explaining how American and French oak differ in their influence, highlighting the unique flavors they impart. You’ll learn about how the grain size of the wood affects the speed and intensity of flavor extraction, and how toasting levels can add smoky, spicy, or sweet notes to the wine. We’ll also discuss how oak aging impacts the mouthfeel, making wines softer and more luxurious through processes like micro-oxygenation and malolactic fermentation. Additionally, we’ll cover how the usage of new versus used barrels, as well as barrel size, can change the wine’s profile. The regional origin of the oak, including choices from Eastern Europe or Spain, can add a distinctive regional character to the wine.
