Default VA in a barrel

Hi folks - I'm a little confused about VA - I noticed a wine I recently put
in one of my older barrels has aquired a touch of VA. Can this be caused by
bacteria resident in the barrel? - SO2 levels are low at the moment because
I do want the wine to go through ML - but I'm wondering what the source of
VA might be - and obviously if this is a signal that the barrel may need to
be turfed? (No big loss since it is now 5 years old)
