Oaked Chardonnay

Oaked Chardonnay is a type of white wine made from Chardonnay grapes that has been aged in oak barrels. This aging process imparts rich flavors like vanilla, butter, and toast, along with a creamy texture, contrasting with the fresher, fruitier tastes of unoaked Chardonnay. The oak also adds complexity and depth to the wine. Oaked Chardonnay is often fuller-bodied and can pair well with rich foods, such as creamy pasta or grilled chicken. Its balance of fruitiness and oak-derived flavors makes it a popular choice among wine enthusiasts.
