oaked
Stored in barrels
Oaked describes wine that has been aged or fermented in oak barrels, which imparts flavors of vanilla, spice, or toast: a heavily oaked Chardonnay.
The term often appears in contrast to unoaked wines, which taste fruitier and crisper.
Oak aging is traditional for many reds and some whites, though preferences vary.
