Barrel Innerstave

Product Description

BARREL INNERSTAVE

• Barrel Innerstave contains 18.16 sq. ft. of surface area.
• Barrel length oak staves are held in place in a radial design lining the barrel with polyethylene rods.
• The system is inserted by our cooperage team into the opened head of a neutral barrel.
• Oak extraction replicates that of a new barrel.
• The absence of staves at the bunghole and the bottom lees pool leaves racking and stirring uninhibited.
• This system is cleanable with regular barrel cleaning procedures
• Barrel Innerstave allows for renewing 100% of the oak flavors in depleted barrels and is designed to impart oak flavor at the same rate as new premium oak barrels.
• The system can be used in all phases of winemaking and works within the framework of a comprehensive barrel program to augment total premium oak flavor profiles, while moderating the higher cost of purchasing all new barrels.
• The system is intended for long term use, full extraction is generally reached after two years.
