I have been making wine for over 3 years and have many successes, but have limited to my experience kits and some Country wines. I will be starting two juice pails soon, a Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc. I plan to MLF the Syrah. My question concerns buying a barrel for a MM LaBodega port, which I have made w/o a barrel. Can I toss that Port directly into a new barrel or should I do another red kit into the barrel first? The Syrah having gone through MLF won't be a good choice. Once the Port is in the barrel, how long can it remain?
