VA: Complex, But Only Up To A Certain Level

By Steen Öhman July 27, 2023 - Leave a Comment

Volatile acidity (VA) is a part of all wines. While often negligible, at times it can create issues, or even real problems, in a wine. The 2022 vintage in Burgundy can sometimes be difficult in this regard, as the pH values are high with some producers. High pH values (3.8 or above) mean that a …

One-Barrel Wonders

By Steen Öhman September 15, 2022 - 2 Comments

Selecting the right barrel for the job is, in a big vintage like 2022, an even greater challenge, as the large harvest means many producers will see a shortage of barrels and barrel options. Add to this the small, boutique producers with one-barrel cuvees, and this can easily become a problem …
