Historically, barrels were used for the storage and
transportation of goods. “Cooperage”, the art of wood
barrel making, is an ancient skill. The actual oak wood
barrel making process has changed very little even with
the advance and progress of culture. To achieve the
highest standards of quality, the work must still be
performed by the hands of a skilled cooper.
The use of oak barrels, casks, vats, kegs, tubs, tuns,
vintage butts, barriques, hogsheads and barricas is a
centuries old tradition.
BAJDA
is a renowned expert in the production of barrels, vats
and casks made from a fine selection of oak wood.
We, at
BAJDA,
operate a state-of-the-art cooperage at our Mendoza,
Argentina facility and the crafting of oak barrels is a
proud family tradition.
Our products are manufactured in Argentina using premium quality,
first choice selected oak to ensure durability.
We select the best oak wood suppliers in the United
States and in Europe from where we import this fine raw
material.
Then the oak is air-dried for many summers and winters,
a process which is possible due to Mendoza's dry climate.
This extended period of seasoning imparts a rich
character and adds texture without masking flavours.
Later on, once seasoned, the oak is delivered into the
hands of the
BAJDA
coopers to be fashioned into barrels, casks and vats
destined to the vintage wine producers.
After being carefully cut
and manipulated into shape the cooper fires the barrels
to toast the wood properly taking care so as not to have
a negative impact on the structure and texture of the
wines.
