Sweet wine and Sherry barrels

Rarity of excellent technical and sensory quality, Made of Portuguese oak, Medium Toast. Specially selected red wines have been aged between three months and a couple of years in small barrels under condition of a very warm 45 °C up to 75 °C in warehouses or below corrugated metal roofs. Supplied without barrel storage or racks. By default, the barrels are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C15). Used wooden barrels: Notches in the wood or, in certain circumstances, an uneven base, do not constitute a quality defect, but stem from the idiosyncrasies of the production method and the prior use of the barrels. The usage of the barrel will not be affected by those! The barrels are very carefully checked by us at the exit control against sensor and technical errors. We assume no liability for cracks or splits that occur during maturation. A possible and a reasonable repair is not under guarantee. Pictures are examples, colour variations are possible

Freshly emptied 225 l barrels (French oak) from a 4 year old red Marsala from Sicily. Marsala is a Sicillian sweet wine with a D.O.C. status. The wine was named after the seaport Marsala. The name originates from the Arabic words “Marsa allah” and means “port of god”. Originally the Marsala was mae only in the province Trapani. By now it’s allowed to be made in the provinces Palermo and Agrigirnt. Discovered was the wine from a son of an English merchant. He realized the potential of the sweet wine to compete with Madeira and Sherry. That’s the reason why he started to import Marsala to England in 1773. The rare red Marsala is made of Nerello Mascalese, Nero d’Avola and Perricone. During maturing they add brandy or thickened grape juice and it is blended with older Marsala. After that the wine is stored for 10 Years in oak barrel aging only. The intense ruby red colour and the persistent aromas of Marsalas make these barrels ideal for distillate ageing.Aroma: vanilla, coconut, clove, iodine, roasted notes, balsamic notes Barrel will be deliverd with a wooden or silicon bung.

This barrel is a rarity and it is difficult to obtain. These high aromatic barrels are made of French Limousin and have been filled with white Pineau des Charentes – a perfect choice for refilling and aging of your whisky, Korn and Jenever. History According to legend, during the harvest of 1589, a winemaker accidentally added grape must into a barrel with eau de vie. The mixture was duly returned to the cellars for fermentation and a few years later, the barrel was retrieved and was found to contain the drink that is now associated with the region of Charentes. Barrel will be deliverd with a wooden or silicon bung.

These port wine barrels from Portugal, or to be more precise precisely from the Duoro Valley, offer an explosion of flavours. The barrels were used for Lagrima - the white port wine. With a high residual sugar content of up to 140 g/l, the full glory of the sweet fruit unfolds. The white grapes are macerated in the old port wine tradition.      The aroma is anything but flat, instead it is composed of different notes: the golden wine brings an opulence of deep floral rose notes, delicate wood, light toffee, a hint of honey honey, rounded off with a very subtle salty taste on the palate.      As your product matures within the white port wine barrel, the developing structure attains more complex depths that are interesting and extravagant at the same time. By default, the drums are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C16). Used wooden barrels: Notches in the wood or, in certain circumstances, an uneven base, do not constitute a quality defect, but stem from the idiosyncrasies of the production method and the prior use of the barrels. The usage of the barrel will not be affected by those! The barrels are very carefully checked by us at the exit control against sensor and technical errors. We assume no liability for cracks or splits that occur during maturation. A possible and a reasonable repair is not under guarantee.  Pictures are examples, colour variations are possible 

Freshly emptied Ruby Port wine barrels. Ruby Port is younger, as matured for a shorter time than Tawny Port. The advantage of these barrels are the typical port wine notes but in a fruity sweet note, less heavy than a Tawny, therefore perhaps more modern (e.g. for the maturation of gin or grain). By default, the barrels are equipped with a used wooden or plastic bung. If you want a new silicone bung, you can order it under accessories (type standard - C16).
