I plan on purchasing a 100 or 120 liter Vadai oak barrel this year.
I am trying to work out a plan to keep it full and not over oak the wines.
1st use
Barrel Ferment a White - cool 2-3 weeks?
Clean out the barrel from fermentation
Rack the white back in and add MLF
2 weeks later rack our white and add first red
3-4 months? Rack out red and add 2nd red
2nd red last me a year?
Any thoughts?
