T.W.'s Médoc barrel takes its name from the classic barrels coopered for the world-renowned chateaus of the Bordeaux region. This Médoc barrel is "très Bordeaux" meaning that it is made for your more concentrated wines that suggest aging. Elevated levels of vanilla and tannin that add structure and texture without overpowering the fruit, are this barrel's signature.
