OVAL CASKS

LARGE FORMAT CASKS OF ALL SIZES

Large Oval Casks Large have been a cornerstone of winemaking tradition for centuries. They are highly valued not only in all major German wine regions but also internationally. Their production demands utmost precision, craftsmanship, and a deep understanding of the interaction between wood and wine.

To craft these high-quality large barrels, our experienced master coopers use only selected, hand-picked oak wood. This wood is air-dried outdoors for an extended period – at least one year for every centimeter of wood thickness. This slow, natural drying process reduces unwanted bitter substances and harsh tannins, resulting in a balanced and elegant aroma profile.

Our casks represent the perfect balance of tradition, quality, and functionality. Decades of experience in traditional cooperage, combined with a spirit of innovation and a keen eye for detail, enable us to produce barrels that excel both in the aging of fine wines and the maturation of premium spirits.To optimally control micro-oxidation – a crucial factor in barrel aging – all surfaces of our barrels are carefully treated with pure, natural oils and waxes. This sealing not only protects the wood but also preserves its breathability, which plays a key role in developing the complexity and maturity of the contents.

Each of our barrels is a unique piece, crafted with passion and the highest standards.
