Quercus Petraea / Quercus Sessilis
Aromatic Complexity and Natural Elegance
Origin: Eastern Europe
Air-dried for 24 months
Fine grain
FSC Certified
European oak provides aromatic complexity comparable to French oak but with a slightly more pronounced profile towards spicy and sweet notes. Wines and spirits aged in these barrels exhibit nuances of clove, almond, coconut, and vanilla. This aromatic richness is attributed to the gradual release of compounds such as furfurals, eugenol, and lactones, which enhance the structure and roundness of the final product, offering a distinctive and memorable sensory experience.
With its ability to balance and enhance flavors, European oak is an exceptional choice for those looking to add depth and character to their premium wines and spirits.
