Why do wines get aged in oak barrels?

in information •  7 years ago 

Oak offers three major contributions to wine:

It adds flavor compounds–including aromas of vanilla, clove, smoke and coconut.

It allows the slow ingress of oxygen–a process which makes wine taste smoother and less astringent.

It provides a suitable environment for certain metabolic reactions to occur (specifically Malolactic Fermentation)–which makes wines taste creamier.
