Enotools University Season 2, Episode 2: Barrel Associates' American Oak Barrels are different and the reasons why are important to your budget and your desired results.
Listen in on Spotify or here at RSS.com Protected by law in Portugal since the 13th Century... ...the cork oak forests (Montado in Portuguese) represent 34% of the global cork forests. This represents the world's oldest legislative protection of a natural area. Since 2008, it has been surprising to me how many people don't know for sure if harvesting the cork bark from this very special and extremely CO2 hungry tree is harmful to it. Many do not realize that the tree has developed a very special adaptation for healing its bark and replacing it with the beautiful substance you see in beverages from beer or spirits to high end, premium wines. Nature Provides Her Remedies Here we are as members of an 8 Billion member race aboard the most beautiful planet in our solar system- seemingly along for the ride as our habits contribute to a macro trend which has us all a bit nervous. But In the Mediterranean basin, cork oak forests occupy an area of over 5.4 million acres (roughly 1.2% of the earth's land mass). This is important, since the cork oaks consume and retain 5 times the amount of CO2 of a comparable sized tree as they recover. These majestic trees are consuming approximately 4.5% of the CO2 created through fossil fuel useage worldwide. Remember, the Montado is only 0.004% of the planet's surface! Stay the Course Amorim Cork sets the bar in manufacturing at large, not just the cork industry when it comes to sustainability. Enotools is proud to represent Amorim Cork America and we urge you to continue to look for closure solutions in the natural cork category for your products.

I've said it 1000 times if I've said it once...... "Buy two GREAT barrels instead of four crappy ones. Because a barrel makes a good change, a bad change, or no change." Well let's assume that you have great barrels that used to make a good change and now they make no change. Don't be ageist. Reduce, re-use, recycle. Conservation. Being green. Don't throw away our old barrels or sell them as planters. They are way too pretty for that. Take full advantage of them by using our delicious french oak sticks called Zig Zag Barrel Inserts from US Amedee. Available now in case quantity. Buy the tannin equivalent of 11 or 12 new barrels in 4 or 8 stick bunches. Email Joe.
In Short? A cost saving, water bent, D&J, half Center of France, Half Hungarian barrel. And we have inventory.
Make the Right Decision for Your Business and Your Wine. If you use a "Technical Closure"- one which is made of cork, but not a traditional, one piece natural cork, you need to know what's available. The Micro-agglomerate Re-imagined.

Myself and my entire team absolutely LOVE the hopper! It’s a game-changer for sure. Should have purchased this years ago but, you know hindsight. Anyway, it works perfectly and allows us to process fruit way more quickly and easily and yields much better results through the destemmer. Win all around. Let me know if you ever need me for a reference on this unit. Cheers, Rich" Richard Olsen-Harbich Winemaker Bedell Cellars |
