WINE MAKING PROCESS
This 2019 Bourbon Barrel Aged Cabernet Sauvignon is produced from Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The defining characteristic of its production is the aging process, where the wine is matured in bourbon barrels. This technique is employed to impart specific flavor and aroma characteristics, such as vanilla and spice, and to influence the wine's texture. The grapes are sourced from the Paso Robles AVA in California, a region known for its suitability for growing robust red varietals. Specific details regarding fermentation vessels, yeast strains, or malolactic fermentation are not publicly available, but the focus remains on the impact of the bourbon barrel aging on the final wine.
