LUSO BARREL

Our decorative barrels are generally produced in Portuguese Oak, Chestnut or Acacia and are note made to the same high specification as our standard barrels destined for wine or spirits production. This makes them ideal for using for vases, furniture or water butts, giving them the same visual appeal of standard barrels but at a far lower cost. Although we have a standard range of decorative barrels available, we are able to produce different models to order for our clients – please inquire about your specific requirements. We are also a supplier of used fortified wine barrels and new oak barrels. ** Ask for a quote **

We make wooden barrels sized 5 to 500 litres in French, American and Portuguese oak in size in Chestnut and Acacia with a paraffin finish. The French and American oak barrels are made in the traditional way of larger barrels, but the Chestnut and Acacia options require a food-safe paraffin coating to ensure there is no possibility of leakage. Both options are made with galvanized hoops, with a toasted interior and are fully pressure tested. Most traditional oak barrel manufacturers no longer produce wooden barrels in the small sizes that we specialize in, because of the extra work it gives; our production facilities are set up to make sure that we can produce these smaller barrels efficiently however, including the most up-to-date machinery to aid our highly skilled coopers to perform some of their craft that originally had to be done 100% manually. We also supply many of our standard barrel sizes in used oak, either from wine or fortified wine. ** Ask for a quote **

We specialise in supplying used Port wine barrels and other used fortified wine barrels (including sherry, Madeira and Muscatel). We receive barrels from port wine producers in varying qualities and all and refurbished and fully inspected and pressure tested before they leave our facility. Refurbishment involves replacing any broken staves with replacements taken from the same batch, sanding and cleaning the interior and replacing hoops where appropriate so that the barrels are 100% ready to be reused with absolute confidence. Whilst we generally have some limited stock of used Port wine barrels (and other fortified wine barrels) from across our range, for larger orders of 50 barrels of more we generally require several weeks lead time in order to ensure that the barrels can be sourced and refurbished. For our larger clients we can only guarantee supply based on programmed regular deliveries over a 12 month period. ** Ask for a quote **
