@the_wine_crate: Before wine is introduced, each barrel undergoes a traditional preparation known as "wicking." A sulfur wick is briefly burned inside the barrel, releasing vapors that purify the wood. This process protects the barrel from oxidation and prevents the growth of unwanted yeast. It's a subtle yet essential ritual that ensures the integrity of the wine from the very beginning. 🎥@domainedutempsdesire . . . . . #thewinecrate #winebarrel #sulfur #vinification #naturalwine #winelover #wineoclock #barrelaging #frenchwine #winediary #organicwine #terroirwine #winetourism #artisanwinemaker #instawine
