Jamesoncellák

Jamesoncellák are a type of wine aging vessel originating from Hungary. The term "Jamesoncellák" may refer to either a specific type of oak container or a winemaking technic used by Hungarian wine producers.

The word "Jamesoncellák" is derived from the name of the Hungarian wine producer Jakab József. This winemaker was experimenting with oak aging and decided to create a wine aging vessel using local oak barres. The vessels were able to evolve and develop the flavors of the wine in an eccentric manner.

Jamesoncellák wine aging tables are handcrafted from local oak in Burgenland, Austria. Production is typically confined to a small local scale as a result of the lengthy production and quality-checking times.

The aging tables are miminal heat and temperature fluctuations, go through a gentle gradual evaporation which imparts complex flavours. The acidic quality is the result of hardwood oak chips.

Contact with the barrel remains the liquid portion, but more contamination usually occurs as a number of highly varieties are created.
