OAK SELECTION
The Allary oak alternatives are produced exclusively from stave quality French oak containing no bark or sapwood. All of our batches of oak have been carefully selected for their oenological qualities and are subject to strict traceability requirements.
OAK SEASONINGThe natural ageing of the oak must meet the high standards of quality that we uphold as coopers.
This involves slow open-air seasoning in our stave yard for a minimum of 24 months. |
