Barrel Program
Oak barrels shape the character of both wine and spirits. In our program, maturation is defined by three key elements: capacity, origin, and toasting style.
From the 225-liter Bordeaux barrel to the 50-liter quarter cask, size controls the contact between liquid and wood, influencing flavor extraction. French oak offers elegant notes of cedar and minerality, while American oak brings richer hints of coconut and vanilla. With light, medium, and heavy toasting, aromas evolve from caramelized toast to mocha and smoke.
We help you choose the ideal oak vessel for refined structure, complexity, and efficient aging.

Aging: The Magic of Time
Extraction & Oxidation: Trace oxygen softens tannins while drawing out oak aromas, building complex layers.
Evaporation & Concentration: The “angel’s share” concentrates flavors, with regular topping maintaining full-bodied wine.
Lees Stirring: For white wines, stirring the lees adds richer texture and toasty notes.
03
Bottling: Capturing Flavor
Racking & Blending: Wine is drawn from barrels and blended by batch to achieve a consistent style.
