For maximum purity, we raise the standard. The wine protocol eliminates all contamination through 4-sided stave shaving and offers customizable toast profiles to suit each client's taste.
The STR process unlocks latent compounds deep within the stave, offering richer notes than a standard virgin barrel.
Beyond sensory rejuvenation, we guarantee the structural integrity of your barrel stock through spot repairs.
Surgical replacement of broken or contaminated staves with selected oak of the same toast level.
Replacement of oxidized galvanized hoops and tension adjustment to ensure stability.
Sealing of pores and micro-cracks using traditional mechanical tightening.
