Preparation of barrels
Receipt of barrels remove them from their packaging and controlled.
Remenber that a barrel was created to contain wine, so it's best to keep it
always full, but if you can not fill them immediately recommend to repack
and store in a cool, semi-humid. is to avoid excess moisture.
Before filling the cask of wine recommend rinsing it this way:
fill the barrel with Cold water, stopper and rinse each head for about ten
minutes, shaking the barrel, then roll it to rinse your sides, empty and fill
with cold water and leave to stand for 24 hours. If the next control is not
leaking it can be emptied and filled with wine, otherwise leave the water
even for a day or two. If the leak persists contact us to receive instructions.
Given that the wood of the barrels are dehydrated from the traditional form
performed on making a wood fire (not steam), then once the barrel is filled
with wood absorbs liquid and increases in volume by sealing only the
losses that we between the slats may be no need for any intervention, then
wait before starting repairs.
Also found that after filling some parts of the cask wine will change color,
this is natural because the wine is absorbed deep into the fiber of the wood,
changing its color.
We suggest you always keep the barrel full of wine. If this is not possible
to rinse the barrel used by holding it upside down and let cold water drip
overnight, then burned discs of sulfur inside, stoppered and stored in a
cool, semi-humid.
