In addition to the tank storage listed above, there are approximately 25,000 oak barrels and 227 vats located in various sheds and barrel stores across the property. Barrels are typically stored in pyramid stacks 5 high of 45-60 casks. When required for bottling, fortified wine in barrels is extracted via a hose and pump system, with the barrels being left in-situ within the stack. These empty barrels are then refilled with current vintage material for ongoing ageing.
