It is common knowledge that wine comes from aged grapes. But how many people know what techniques are used to age the grapes and why white wine ages faster than red wines?
Let's start at the beginning of the wine making process. First the grapes are picked, then crushed and pressed. Aging sets in immediately after this. The grapes are stored in oak barrels or steel vats. Sometimes oak chips are added to the steel vats.
The interaction of tannin, acids and sugar play an important role in the aging process. Tannin is an excellent antioxidant and natural preservative, which helps increasing the aging period the wine can go through without going bad (oxidation). It also gives the wine an important flavor dimension.
Other factors are:
temperature
light conditions
alcohol.
Stable and cool temperatures are beneficial to the aging process. Cooler temperatures slow down the aging process (enabling the wine to age gracefully and develop a more complex taste), which is what winemakers want. Instable temperatures and light conditions have a bad effect on the quality of the wine in the end.
and both wines very good taste and serving looking very nicely.
