Elevage efficient low carbon oak wine barrels separate then recombine oak & oxygen barrel functions to outperform in wine maturation. Delivering all the new wine barrel functionality plus more, they are not shaped like a traditional oak wine barrel as new oak is added to the wine yearly, not wine to the oak.
Elevage-Barrels™ flexibly integrate the Elevage-BarriQ™ top-grade french barrel oak range and the Elevage-Infiniti™ stackable OTR Barrel options with a longer effective barrel life.
Elevage ingenuity better balances this Oak-OTR axis by separating and recombining top grade barrel oak, with a choice of preset precision controlled, even oxygen transfer rate configured to suit the wine context and ensure maturation is optimised. Elevage-Barrels™ can even shorten the maturation cycle while avoiding excess oak waste and spoilage issues.
Excelling in blind tastings, Elevage easily integrates into barrel programs at low risk to give proven quality, cost, and carbon advantages with performance guarantees.
