Set up & Care

​Store your barrels indoors away from odor and drafts.

The minimum humidity level must be 65%

Allary barrels in their packaging may be kept for several months.

All barrels are delivered ready to use. However, it is still recommended to check each barrel carefully by:
  • Pouring 20 to 30 liters of hot water into the barrel;
  • Splash the water around inside of the barrel to moisten. Stand the barrel upright and allow water to stay an hour or two on each head.
  • That way, using minimum water, your barrel is properly hydrated. 

Alternatively, you may fill your barrel with cold water, keep if full for 24 hours then rinse and drain.

We recommend consulting with your enologist for long term care and storage.  I am happy to discuss my personal techniques for the Authentique wines at 503.307.1593
