By Clive Pursehouse Verified| Decanter Verified There are many terms for wine barrels in the many languages of wine. Whether called a ‘barrique’, ‘cask’, ‘foudre’, or ‘botte’, these terms refer to wooden vessels that both store and shape the wines within them. The main reason for the use of barrels in winemaking is a process called micro-oxygenation. This means that a small amount of air passes through the grains in the wood and softens or ages the wine inside. What is a wine barrel?
By Clive Pursehouse Verified| Decanter Verified I did a lot of tasting in March that doesn’t really count towards my own tally. I one instance, I was backing up our Napa Correspondent, Jonathan Cristaldi, at Heitz Cellars, with an epic vertical of about 45 wines, which you’ll hear more about later this year. I also helped out our Sonoma Correspondent Ana Carolina Quintela on the Sonoma Coast. We tasted about 85 wines in one day with some of the region’s top producers. For my own reviewing, I just about hit 150 wines in March.
