Every year the advanced Elevage non-traditional barrels can save thousands of hectares of old growth oak forest and millions of growing years that sequesters & stores carbon to help our planet..
Purpose - How?
Elevage-Barrels separates the key barrel functions of oak, oxygen transfer (OTR) & storage to elevate barrel performance.
By adding new oak to wine (rather than wine to oak) our advanced non-traditional barrels are a combination of new top-end oak each vintage at flexible NBE% levels with controlled pre-set constant OTR barrel options & sizes. This enables faster maturation to speed cash cycle across a wider RRP range. By exposing all the new oak to all the wine for the entire ageing time, Elevage raises quality, slashes costs, reduces carbon, water, & waste, thereby contributing towards a net-zero climate action.
Elevage direct supply chain provides flexibility & benefits to save wineries capital dollars,. Saving thousands of mature age oak trees through our non-traditional large, long-life, stackable barrel options in controlled pre-set OTR choices & sizes with top French barrel oak range. Stored dry & gaining 50% more of existing winery cellar space, they also avoid old barrel hassles & barrel variability that causes wine downgrades & added cost.
