Frequently asked questions about this product
How should I prepare a new barrel before filling it with wine?
Fill the barrel with a tartaric acid solution (about 10 g of tartaric acid per litre of water) and let it soak for four to five days, then empty it thoroughly and disinfect it with a sulfur strip before adding wine. This swells the staves and seals the barrel.
Which toast level is recommended for red and white wines?
The barrel has a medium+ toast for optimal flavour transfer. A medium toast is recommended for red wines, while a heavier toast is recommended for white wines.
How do I prepare a barrel that has been used before?
Clean it with a soda solution (about 1 kg of soda per 10 litres of hot water), rinse thoroughly, then soak it in a tartaric acid solution for two to three days and disinfect with a sulfur strip.
How should the barrel be stored when empty?
Rinse it immediately with clean water, let it drain for about 24 hours, disinfect with a sulfur strip and seal it tightly with the bung. Store it in humid (around 70%) and cool conditions (12-17 C), repeating the sulfuring roughly every three months.
