Wine cask
A wine barrel is made up of staves which have been shaped into a bulging cylinder, and flat heads or ends. The staves are held in place by metal hoops, usually galvanized on wine barrels or steel on whiskey barrels. The shape is designed so the barrel can easily be rolled. The curve or Bilge allows the barrel to be spun easily to control direction.
Oak Staves
TONECOR`s process begins by selecting only the highest quality oak sourced from the premier forest regions of Central France, the Vosges and the American Midwest. These forests produce straight and very fine-grain oak and the company employs the industry's most experienced log buyers while managing over 15 log yards. Most importantly, this means our clients receive the highest quality oak.

Recooepered Barrels
TONECOR S.L. is the finest in the business. Dedicated to quality and customer satisfaction, we are the company to turn to for Recoopered Barrels. Our process, developed over the past 10 years, has focused on ensuring no residue of wine or wine trace such as ethanol remains in the barrel and all heat affected wood from the original toasting is completely removed.
Barrels that have been poorly taken care of, have molds or fungi impregnated wood will be automatically rejected because of potential off flavors or TCA contamination. Structural integrity. Since a Tonecor barrel must be able to sustain a 6 high stacking regimen for an additional 8 years, three years imparting flavor and oxygenating wine and 5 more years as neutral wine vessels, any sign of weakness will cause a barrel to fail during our inspections.. Leak prevention and early detection. Broken staves, hairline fractures or compromised chimes will cause a barrel to be rejected because of the potential for leaks. Excessive blistering. Improperly aged wood used in a barrel will have gas pressure buildup during toasting.
This trapped gas will create so much pressure that the wood will explode or blister. Since we must remove a 1/4" of wood from the inside of the barrel to ensure the highest quality product, a blistered environment would require the removal of an excessive amount of wood and therefore compromise a barrel's structural integrity. Once the barrel passes the initial arrival inspection, we remove the heads and plane the inside of the barrel and head, removing 1/4" of material. Then they age both barrel and heads to extract all wine derived residues trapped in the wood.
