Frequently asked questions about this product
How do I prepare a new barrel before its first fill?
Fill it with a tartaric acid solution (about 10 g per litre) and leave it for 4-5 days so the staves swell and seal, then empty it thoroughly and disinfect with a sulfur strip before filling with wine. This swelling step is what stops a new barrel from weeping.
How should a used barrel be cleaned and maintained?
Clean with an anhydrous soda solution (about 1 kg per 10 litres of hot water), rinse thoroughly, then soak in tartaric acid solution for 2-3 days and disinfect with a sulfur strip (about a quarter strip per 100 litres). This routine removes deposits and keeps the wood sound between fills.
How do I store the barrel when it is empty?
Keep it in a humid environment (around 70% humidity) at 12-17 degrees C, and disinfect with a sulfur strip roughly every 3 months. Humidity stops the staves drying and shrinking, which would cause leaks when you refill.
What does the medium-plus toast level contribute?
The toast level influences the aromatic and flavour compounds the oak gives the wine, with medium-plus offering a balanced character. Combined with the thick 27 mm staves, it suits wines intended for a moderate, structured oak influence.
