OAKINClassic

Wine Barrels made in France
We use only the best selection of oak staves from premium French forest to provide consistency to the production of wine ageing, required in the wine making industry to achieve best results.

All timber is minimum 2 years air-dried. The cooper is renown for its quality process control. All steps of the barrel production are performed on the premises in France under a tight quality control system. Moisture in the oak is being reduced to 14% humidity before processing takes place. Toasting is being done over open fire using only oak wood. All barrels are leakage tested and stored at specially insulated storage facilities before overseas shipment to ensure that barrels are “ready for use” on arrival at the winery.
