Can you age Okanagan wines?

Aging wine is an art form, and the general rule of thumb suggests red wines have more potential for development than white. This comes down to their higher levels of tannins – compounds which contribute a dry, puckering sensation in your mouth. As they age these tannins soften giving way to well-rounded complexity you won’t find in young vintages; whites fare less well over time due certain varieties like Chardonnay and Riesling still being able to benefit from oak aging if done right.

Exploring vineyards and their offerings is an integral part of the winemaking experience. Winery staff can provide guidance on when to drink a particular vintage, as well as any advice regarding storage or aging methods that may improve its flavor profile. Bottle shock should also be taken into account; some new bottles require time for flavors to marry before consumption in order to truly appreciate the taste notes within them. Don’t hesitate to consult with knowledgeable professionals who help craft these distinguished wines — they’ll ensure you get everything possible from your purchase!
