Hi everyone..... first post... hope somebody can give some advice!!
I am making wine for the second year, last year was what I would class as reasonably successful, (considering first attempt) so this year I splashed out on a Barrel.... question is I have lasts years wine in a couple of 54 lt. glass carboys... The wine is sound.. would it benefit from a couple of weeks in the barrel before I rack this years vintage in... or is it too late in the day to oak this wine?
many thanks..
