Bottling The wine is transferred into glass bottles, labeled and ready to enjoy!

Aging Some wines are aged in oak barrels to develop more complex and balanced flavours, others are aged in stainless steel tanks. This step will depend on the grapes used and how the wine- maker wants the wine to taste. Aging can last from a couple of months to many years. Fining/Filtering The wine is sometimes fined and filtered to remove any unwanted particles. Some winemakers choose to skip this step resulting in cloudier and often- times more “rustic”-style wines.
