What is the timeline from the start of the process until the wine is completed and bottled?
Depending on the grape varietal, the time will vary. A white wine, in general, will require much less time to age in-barrel than a red. Some reds might age 3 to 5 months in-barrel and others can take 24 months. 12 months from crush to bottling is the average for red wine. As a barrel owner, you are encouraged to come and do barrel samplings as often as you like!
