Performance

The following graph illustrates the relationship between the annual wood contribution of the Valchedor Cask, with the corresponding time that a regular barrel needs to equal these contributions.

As it can be seen in the graph, the performance of the Valchedor Cask in its first year is equal to the life cycle of two regular barrels and a third in its first year. In the second year of performance, the contribution of the Valchedor Cask is equal to that made by a regular barrel during its full cycle and a second regular barrel would have to be added during the first months of its performance.

We can observe how during the first three years, the Valchedor Cask offers performance well above a regular barrel. It is from the last quarter of the third year, when the Valchedor Cask would match to a regular barrel, producing until the end of the eight years in a similar way a regular barrel would from the beginning of its cycle.
