lightly aged

This refers to how long they've been kept in the barrel or bottle before being sold. You could say "matured", but "aged" is more common in this context.
Example sentence:

Die Weine können leicht gereift sein, also ab dem 2 Jahr.

A medium bodied dry red wine made from a blend of grapes including Chambourcin and St. Vincent. Lightly aged in oak.
