Jar wine characteristics

Jar wine is nothing more than wine fermented and aged in jars/amphoras, the most classic container that we can find. Originally made with clay, the porosity of this material facilitated micro-oxygenation and temperature during its longest and most important processes.

Nowadays there are many methods and containers for the processes of making wines. Both ancient and modern. However, at BlancoTinto we defend the nuances that the traditional brings. For this reason, today we want to introduce you to our tank wines because they should be an option to put on your table. The container where the wine is made also influences several of its most notorious characteristics, which is why it is an element to highlight in the tab of each production.

The jar makes, in general, that the wines touch 15 degrees of alcohol. Thanks to this, the veil of flor created by the yeasts during biological aging is maintained at the top. This prevents the wine from oxidizing, thus maintaining the primary aroma. In this way, a dry and very unctuous wine is achieved with hints of fruit and sometimes nuts.

In addition, they are clarified in the vat itself, which is why they are completely natural wines. Bottled directly from its amphora, the resulting wine is full of freshness and purity.
