Decanting Wine <\/h3>\nBefore wines were routinely fined and filtered to a crystal clear state, it was very common for wines poured from a bottle to be cloudy or contain a considerable degree of solid deposits. In order to avoid bringing an unsightly looking wine to the table, it was quite the norm to decant the wine into a clear receptacle. The need for such a vessel led to the development of the varied decanters available today.
\nMost wines today, have different reasons for decanting as was required in the past. The modern winemaking process ensures that wine is thoroughly clarified before it is bottled, by a process of fining (passing egg whites, Bentonite clay or other substances through to fine and collect the suspended solid matter) and by mechanical filtration.
\nAlthough these wines are often best served from the bottle (after all, you have paid for a quality finished wine), many wines do benefit from some decanting – (a controlled breath of fresh air, a nice stretch after laying-down for so long) <\/em>.
\nWines which have aged in the bottle, typically red wines, will generally throw a sediment by ten years of age – and faster if not fined or unfiltered. Not only is this sediment displeasing to the eye, it can also be quite unpleasant on the palate. These are the wines that need and deserve gentle decanting, (i.e. giving wine respect) <\/em>.
\nYoung wines can also benefit from decanting, although the aim is not to take the wine off any sediment (there is rarely sediment in young wines), but rather to aerate, open-up and soften the wine. The action of decanting, the wines surface area in contact with air inside the decanter, helps to integrate the wine, softening its youthful tannic bite, oak characters, astringency and acidity, encouraging the development of more complex and harmonious aromas that would normally develop with more years in the bottle. This also includes quality, well made, young white wines *(e.g. barrel fermented or oaked Chardonnay) – these can be cool decanted.
\nWith this in mind, even inexpensive red wines can benefit from decanting, if a first taste reveals a tannic, grippy, oaky, astringent unbalanced structure, but good quality, ripe fruit in the background. Having confidence in the wine and giving it time to breathe will give or regain a harmony of these unique and exciting components, layers and flavours in the wine and bring them into balance for your senses and taste buds to enjoy.
\nDifferent wines require and benefit from different lengths of time in a decanter. So speak with the retailer or winemaker for insights on their style and age of the wine – but most of all, do not aerate a wine for too long – and most of all, enjoy & share the journey<\/em>.\n\t\t\t\t\"Decanter-Celebration-Triptych-Image-02\"\n\tI have a focused selection of the mouth-blown \u2018lead-free\u2019 crystal decanters hand-crafted by Eisch in Frauenau – Germany. \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\"Decanter-Square-Celebration-002\"\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\tEisch – CELEBRATION <\/strong>
