Through Head Barrel Inserts

Offering winemakers the optional range of standard 100% to concentrated 120% new barrel equivalent, Through Head Barrel Inserts are offered in full range of VINEA toasts and provide a more assertive oak influence than Through Bung-Hole applications. Through Head Barrel Inserts utilize larger pieces of wood to bring fuller mouthfeel, length and roundness. Although additional preparation is required, Through Head Barrel Inserts are highly effective and provide the most “new barrel” like results of any oak application.

Available toasts: Fire Medium, Ceramic M, Ceramic M+, Hydro Medium

Installation of VINEA Through Head Barrel Inserts requires removing barrel heads by a specialized cooper. The Boswell Company will coordinates the order and installation for a seamless and easy preparation. To order Through Head Barrel Inserts please email staff@boswellcompany.com
