About This Method
Controlled introduction of tiny oxygen bubbles through a porous ceramic into tank-aged wine. Mimics the slow oxygen exchange of barrel aging, softening tannins and stabilizing color in a fraction of the time. Used for mid-range reds that benefit from oak-like texture without barrel cost.
