The winery has partnered with Sea Aged Wine of Spain, which will provide the temperature-controlled tanks in which the wine will be aged in seawater. The Jordan-based winery is due to send bottles of its Merlot, Chardonnay and [Cabernet Sauvignon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neyen-de-apalta) to the Spanish company. The sea-aging of wine is known as "conduction ageing" and is said to change the wine's aromas, colors and taste. According to Sea Aged Wine, the conduction-ageing process involves the bottles of Jordan River Wines being placed in specially designed seawater tanks from one month to a year. The tanks are controlled by various setting and can control the temperature of the water.
