 Wood

Duero Selección Barrels are made from Quercus petraea (French oak), Quercus pyrenaica (Spanish oak), Quercus alba (America oak), Quercus robur (European oak) and Quercus frainetto (Hungarian, Italian oak) varieties of oak. We choose  wood of FAS quality (highest grade of hardwood lumber), which guarantee the exceptional quality of the final product. Moreover, the PEFC and FSC certificates ensure the sustainable origin of the wood for our barrels.

The rigorous manual selection of wood in accordance with specifications and controlled drying outdoors in our Drying Park for at least 24 months  is the cornerstone of the quality of Duero Selección barrels.

Volume

225 – 228 – 300 – 400 – 500  litres

Toasting

LIGHT – MEDIUM – MEDIUM PLUS – STRONG – HIGH EXPRESSION

We always make traditional toasting using toasting pots with open oak wood fire, control of the temperature and the know-how of our coopers. This is how we reach the uniform toasting of the entire surface of the barrel. By default, we do not toast the bottoms since the wood intended for the bottoms undergoes a longer drying time, which guarantees its quality. At the request of the client we toast them as well.
