Roll out the Barrels

Today we went up to see our barrel supplier. He is based in Uzerche, an historic town of towers. perched on the side of the river Vezere. The oak and chestnut forests made the area a traditional supplier of barrels and barges for the Dordogne and Bordeaux. Our supplier is has been making barrels for generations. Interestingly his machinery is mostly English made (presumably for beer barrel making). We ordered our new supply which will be used to mature our amazing 2015 Cabernets.

    Humphrey's passion for winemaking and Sue's for wildlife breaks through the repetitive tasks of the vineyard year. Her photos are not that great but maybe with the incentive of this blog they will improve.
