ROUND CASKS

HANDCRAFTED LARGE OAK CASKS – PRECISION AND MATURATION ART IN PERFECTION

At OAKBARRELS.SHOP, our large-format oak casks - ranging from 500 to 6,000 liters (5 to 60 hectoliters) - stand for outstanding craftsmanship, centuries-old cooperage expertise, and maximum performance in the aging of wine, spirits, beers, and other premium liquids. Each of these custom-built large barrels is individually crafted by experienced coopers using traditional techniques and the utmost precision.

We use only premium European oak, sourced from sustainably managed forests. The wood is naturally air-dried outdoors for at least one year per centimeter of thickness. This slow maturation process reduces harsh tannins and enhances a balanced, nuanced aroma profile  - creating ideal aging conditions within the cask.

Our large round casks are renowned for their exceptional build quality and long lifespan. They are treated with natural oils and waxes, promoting optimal micro-oxidation while protecting the oak's functional properties. This ensures consistent and controlled flavor exchange during maturation, making these casks perfect for aging high-quality products with complexity and depth.

Beyond their functional advantages, these casks offer visual appeal and artisanal value to wine cellars, distilleries, breweries, and barrel aging rooms. Their impressive size, elegance, and aromatic influence make them the centerpiece of any maturation process.

OVAL CASKS & FERMENTATION VATS – HANDCRAFTED LARGE BARRELS FOR AGING AND FERMENTATION

At OAKBARRELS.SHOP, we offer a premium selection of oval casks and open fermentation vats, handcrafted from high-quality oak with exceptional artisanal precision. These large-format wooden barrels are ideal for the aging, storage, and fermentation of wine, beer, fruit brandy, and other high-value beverages.

Oval casks stand out not only for their striking, elegant shape but also for their performance. Their unique geometry promotes exceptionally even maturation, while the increased wood surface area relative to volume creates a well-balanced microclimate that enhances complex flavor development. Available in various sizes, our oval barrels are traditionally handcrafted by skilled coopers using sustainably seasoned European oak.

Vats – also known as wooden fermentation tanks – offer a trusted solution for open fermentation. Widely used by winemakers, brewers, and distillers, these wooden vessels provide a naturally regulated fermentation environment, essential for defining the final character of the product. As with all our barrels, we use only top-grade oak and apply traditional craftsmanship to ensure long-lasting durability and optimal performance.

Whether you're looking to conduct open fermentation, long-term storage, or flavor-rich aging, our oval casks and fermentation vats offer durability, functionality, and exceptional craftsmanship. Each vessel is a one-of-a-kind creation that blends traditional form with modern barrel culture at the highest standard.
