Opulent
Our Opulent barrel focuses on luscious aromas and flavours. Our team developed a method allowing us to toast the barrel longer than we ever have before, resulting in sweet notes underscored by rich toast character.

// Unmatched Depth, Unparalleled Craftsmanship
For the Distinction, we meticulously hand-select extra-fine, straight-grain staves and season the oak to perfection over 36 months using a specific regime.
Crafted to exact specifications, the Distinction barrel features a carefully developed toast and luxurious finishes, setting it apart in every detail.
With its signature aromatics and soft tannins, Distinction contributes elegant notes of spice, light buttery toast, and vanilla to the wine, delivering a truly unmatched experience.
