Oak barrels perform an important role in the wine and spirit making maturation process. RenewOak was established in 2019 to commercialise a unique and sustainable process for the rejuvenation of used oak barrels. We can provide a service that economically extends the life of your barrels, or we can supply you with barrels that have been been rejuvenated using our process at a fraction of the cost of new barrels. Our technology can improve your business profitability and simultaneously improve the quality of your product.

Over 2020 to 2022, RenewOak has undertaken wine and spirit trials using RenewOak rejuvenated barrels in Australian wineries and distilleries, with favourable outcomes. Wines and spirits from the rejuvenated barrels have demonstrated improved brightness and freshness when compared to the control (an un-rejuvenated barrel of the same age) and oak influences comparable to that from a much younger barrel.
