California Wineries Try Acacia Barrels
Mar 30, 2010 6
California - Though oak is almost synonymous with wine barrels, a small number of California wineries are now experimenting with aging their wines using another wood.
The barrels are made from what’s popularly called acacia wood, actually the Robinia pseudoacacia or black locust tree, a native of the eastern U.S. now widespread in central and southeast Europe.
