Can somebody clarify the quote about Micro-Ox "While the technique is now used all over the world, most Madiran producers no longer use it in their barrels, preferring to inject doses of oxygen into their tanks, thus avoiding the risk of prematurely oxidizing their wines."

how does introducing ox in tank vs the barrel avoid premature oxidation?

Love this article about my favorite region! Looking forward to the other 2 installments - fascinating, and great to see some coverage about a region that deserves more attention.

Great post! It's awesome to see the wines of the Southwest represented in such depth. I would like to add Herri Mina (imported by Martine's Wines) as a great producer of Irouleguy. In fact, any time I pair it with anything fall vegetable/gourd related, the white crushes! The Herri Mina Irouleguy Blanc is the best pairing I have found for tortelli stuffed with Hokkaido pumpkin puree. Jean-Louis Costera's white would not be too far behind, except he made like 10 cases of it... (I'm exaggerating, but not by much). Also, check out the awesome ciders produced by Bixintxo Aphaule of Bordatto, Basa Jaun and Basandare (imported by DeMaison).
