The stainless steel barrel is particularly efficient for lees exchange. Lees release polysaccharides, giving wine greater volume and a longer finish while preserving full fruit potential. Ageing time also <strong>enhances aromatic complexity<\/strong>. For optimal results, lees must lay evenly and contact surface be as large as possible. The stainless steel barrel is an undeniable innovation for this ageing method. The barrel\u2019s perfect curve and virtual absence of welding, ensures that lees are evenly deposited for optimal release of polysaccharides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"centered-box gem-image-centered-box\" ><div class=\"gem-image gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-default gem-wrapbox-position-centered lazy-loading  thegem-custom-69dea34ba95777604\"  style=\"\" ><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner  lazy-loading-item\"  data-ll-effect=\"move-up\"><img class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/delafont-barrels.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fut-4.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-custom-69dea34ba95777604.gem-image a:hover img {filter: brightness( 100% ) contrast( 100% ) saturate( 100% ) blur( 0px ) hue-rotate( 0deg );}<\/style><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;]<div class=\"centered-box gem-image-centered-box\" ><div class=\"gem-image gem-wrapbox gem-wrapbox-style-default gem-wrapbox-position-centered lazy-loading  thegem-custom-69dea34ba98508268\"  style=\"\" ><div class=\"gem-wrapbox-inner  lazy-loading-item\"  data-ll-effect=\"move-up\"><img class=\"gem-wrapbox-element img-responsive\" src=\"https:\/\/delafont-barrels.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Design-sans-titre-17.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.thegem-custom-69dea34ba98508268.gem-image a:hover img {filter: brightness( 100% ) contrast( 100% ) saturate( 100% ) blur( 0px ) hue-rotate( 0deg );}<\/style><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; max-width: 530px; display: block; margin: 0 auto;\"><span style=\"color: #777777;\">S. Delafont Barrels winery equipment is designed for immersion of staves, with regular stirring bringing lees into suspension, as in a wooden barrel. Wooden barrel heads can also be used, proof of the complementarities between stainless steel and wood: <strong>wood options may be added<\/strong>, while stainless steel provides improved stability and sulphite-free ageing. A blended vintage, with part aged in wooden barrels and the rest in stainless steel barrels, may also deliver interesting results. Stainless steel is ideal for biodynamic or natural wines.<br \/>\n<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625754942138{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;z-index&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625754793760{margin-bottom: -50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625754850920{margin-bottom: -50px !important;}&#8221;]<div id=\"fullwidth-block-69dea34ba9cce\" class=\"fullwidth-block clearfix\"  style=\"padding-bottom: 60px;\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"fullwidth-block-69dea34ba9cce\")); }<\/script><div class=\"fullwidth-block-background\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/delafont-barrels.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/2.png);background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover;background-position: center bottom;\"><\/div><div class=\"fullwidth-block-inner\"><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625822563304{background-image: url(https:\/\/delafont-barrels.fr\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/fd-titre-parfaits.jpg?id=1362) !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625755369479{padding-top: 120px !important;padding-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1633512883952{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title-h2 text-white text-uppercase\" style=\"text-align: center; text-shadow: 0 0 15px #212121;\">PERFECT FOR MICRO-VINIFICATION,<br \/>\nRECOMMENDED WINERY PRACTICES<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1625755475723{margin-top: 80px !important;margin-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; color: #777777;\">Stainless steel barrels can also be used for vinification: once grapes are harvested, simply place them in the barrels, in horizontal position, exactly as with wooden barrels. Grapes will then begin to ferment. Stainless steel barrels are ideal for micro vinification: the 300 litre format is perfect for micro-cuv\u00e9es. The material provides better control, requires less human intervention and offers guaranteed security. This makes stainless steel barrels a choice product for wine ageing: improved quality and end results in tune with today\u2019s trend for fresh, delicate, sulphite-free wines.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; color: #777777;\">Stainless steel barrels are good lookers too: in rows or stacked on cradles, shining barrels are an undeniable visual asset and a sure-fire hit with wine tourists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; color: #777777;\">And, last but not least, stainless steel barrels are practical and easy to use! They weigh only 31kg empty (half the weight of a 300 litre wooden barrel). The removable head makes them easier to clean, requiring 3 times less water than a conventional barrel and less professional maintenance than wood.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; parallax=&#8221;content-moving&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1626427673845{margin-bottom: 80px !important;padding-top: 80px !important;padding-bottom: 120px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/delafont-barrels.fr\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/header-histoire.jpg?id=1422) !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;bg-bottom&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1631711580442{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0.75) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,0,0) !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-justify text-white text-bigger\">Environmentally friendly by nature, stainless steel barrels are a fitting component in any <strong>self-respecting sustainable winery<\/strong>!
