Oak barrel 225 L

225 L Oak barrel - (made-to-order)

The selection and control of the raw material is the first key to success. Made from split French oak, the 225 L oak cask is of the highest quality, essential for giving the best aromas to your wines and spirits.

The tannins in addition to being extracted from the grapes during fermentation are found in wood, giving different aromas and flavours to the wine while aging in the casks or barrels. 

Another feature of the tannins is the preservation, acting as antibacterial agents thus protecting the wine and ensuring longevity.
