Fusing tradition and modernity in every barrel we make
Tonelería Herfe is a company with extensive experience in the manufacture of barrels for wines and spirits.
In the world of oenology, barrels are a vital component of wine ageing. These wooden vessels not only serve as a place to store and age wine, but also significantly influence its taste, aroma, colour and structure.
American oak (Quercus alba) barrels are a popular choice among winemakers and distillers around the world. Native to North America, this type of wood brings unique characteristics to wines and spirits aged in it, enhancing their flavour and aromatic profile.
French oak (Quercus Petraea) has long been the standard of excellence in cooperage. These barrels are highly prized for their exceptional contribution to wine ageing and are found in the world's most prestigious wineries. At Tonelería Herfe, we are experts in the manufacture of French oak barrels of the highest quality.
In this type of barrel, two types of oak are blended, the body being made in American oak and the bottom in French oak.
Acacia comes from the forests of northern France and in recent years has been a great success in California wineries. Its magnificent results while respecting the characteristics of the great white varieties have led to its use in Europe. Acacia barrels are mainly used for ageing and maturing white wines. It is a wood that is much less tannic than oak, and it has a much lower tannin content than oak.hese barrels bring out the freshness of the wines and give them fruity aromas that other types of wood do not provide.
Distillate casks are an essential part of the production of high quality spirits. Ageing in barrels is an essential process that contributes significantly to the flavour, aroma, colour and texture of distillates such as whisky, rum, brandy and tequila. At Tonelería Herfe we are professionally dedicated to the manufacture of this type of casks.
European oak casks have long been an essential component in the production of premium wines and distillates. This type of oak, grown in various regions of Europe, has unique properties that can impart a wide variety of flavours and aromas to beverages aged in it. At Tonelería Herfe we produce and distribute European oak casks of the highest quality.
