In these cellars, wines are aged, be it in barrels or bottles, and kept until they\u2019re ready to be distributed to the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could say that wine cellars are where the magic happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Every producer has a cellar, some having small rooms near their vineyards, while others have massive villas with casks of wine stretching as far as the eye can see. But while a wine cellar is almost always underground, there\u2019s absolutely no water involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At least, that\u2019s how it used to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After learning this fact, we had a simple question. Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re sure that\u2019s the same question you\u2019re asking, especially given that making wine underwater must surely be more time and labour-intensive than making it in a traditional cellar. With the question of why in mind, we decided to create an article examining the growing trend for underwater wine cellars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winemakers Become Curious About the Sea<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">During the First World War, the German U-Boat became one of the most feared vessels in the sea. Countless ships were sunk by these terrifying boats, leading to many shipwrecks lining the sea and ocean floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few years ago, a team of divers decided to explore one of these shipwrecks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Located about 60 metres below the water lay a Swedish schooner named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heidsieckandco-monopole.com\/jonkoping-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping<\/a>. In 1916, this schooner was sunk by a German U-Boat, as so many others were during the Great War. But this schooner was different. Rather than carrying military personnel, it carried a different type of precious cargo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of bottles of the 1907 vintage of Heidsieck Champagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The divers knew that the ship lay under the cold waters of the Baltic Sea. And after a little exploration, they finally uncovered it, along with thousands of bottles of a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/five-things-you-should-know-about-champagne\/\">Champagne<\/a> that hadn\u2019t been touched in over 80 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That expedition was in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Borja Saracho<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This expedition inspired a Spanish wine lover and diver named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/borja-saracho-echevarr%C3%ADa-195b308\/?locale=en_US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Borja Saracho<\/a> to conduct an experiment. Working with a team, he gained permission to rent 500 square metres of the seabed off Spain\u2019s north coast. His goal was simple, sink some bottles of Spanish wine using a particular container to see what effects ageing under the water would have on the drinks. After all, thousands of bottles of Champagne had been retrieved in-tact after being underwater for over eight decades. Perhaps the water had a unique effect on the wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Several producers volunteered to add their wines to Saracho\u2019s sunken collection. And the experiment was a resounding success, as Saracho explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><em>\u201cIt was astounding. The wines\u2019 evolution underwater was very distinct from what would happen with the same grape on land.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Simply put, Saracho discovered that wine ages differently underwater than it does on land, taking on qualities that Saracho had never seen before. The discovery was such that it inspired Saracho to found a company called Crusoe Treasure, which has pioneered the concept of underwater wine cellars ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He is far from the only one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Today, producers in Croatia, Spain, Italy, and many other countries have experimented with underwater ageing wines. What started as an expedition to find some old lost wines sparked what some see as the next big revolution in the winemaking process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s so Special About Ageing Wine Underwater?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Though we have mentioned Saracho discussing how ageing wines underwater imbued them with different qualities, it\u2019s important to note that different doesn\u2019t always mean better. If the wines tasted worse, that would be reason enough to avoid ageing them underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that isn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main reason for underwater ageing is that the conditions below the sea&#8217;s depths mimic those most ideal for ageing wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">For example, there is a complete absence of sunlight on the sea bed. The sun can\u2019t penetrate as deeply as underwater winemakers send their drinks, meaning there is no chance the sun can hamper the ageing process. This is one of the reasons why traditional winemakers use cellars. But even opening the door to a cellar can let sunlight in, whereas that situation is impossible when ageing wines are underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/underwater-3237936_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"underwater cellars\" class=\"wp-image-21884\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Coupled with the absence of light is the consistency in temperature. Water stays cool at deep depths, meaning the winemakers don\u2019t have to worry about heat or temperature fluctuations affecting the ageing process. Combine all this with the argument that an underwater cellar can leave a unique imprint on a wine, and you have a compelling argument for ageing wine below the depths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s just one problem, and it\u2019s a big enough problem that it will likely prevent underwater cellars from becoming more widespread: the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a result, the logistics of submerging wine leads to the production process costing 70% more than it does in a typical wine cellar. The producer has to pay for special containers, boats, and divers, all of which add to production costs and reduce the product&#8217;s profitability. Even if the producer leans on the novelty of underwater ageing to raise its prices, the effort to make these wines is much higher than that required in traditional cellars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We find this concept of underwater ageing fascinating. We would love the opportunity to test a well-known wine after it\u2019s aged underwater to compare it to a traditionally-aged vintage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps time will lower the production costs of underwater ageing, making it more accessible to producers without forcing price increases. But for now, underwater ageing stands as a curious innovation in an industry for which production processes haven\u2019t altered in such a drastic way since the introduction of machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regardless, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/\">Xtrawine<\/a> will always be here to provide quality wines. Though our collection doesn\u2019t yet include any aged wines underwater, we have plenty of exceptional bottles for you to try.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent years, a small number of wine producers have started experimenting with making their wines in underwater cellars.
