Launched in 2019, RenewOak now has over 100 customers across the wine and spirits sector. As a key part of our marketing approach, we have undertaken numerous barrel cleaning and product maturation trials using RenewOak rejuvenated barrels.
In all cases, the outcomes have been favourable. Wines and spirits from the rejuvenated barrels have demonstrated improved brightness and freshness when compared to the barrels used as the “control” (un-rejuvenated barrel of the same age) and oak influences comparable to that from a much younger barrel.
Successful barrel cleaning and subsequent wine trials have been held at:
- Fermoy Estate and Margaret River Winemakers in WA
- A range of wineries in SA and Victoria
Trials included the following grape varieties:
- Shiraz
- Cabernet Sauvignon
- Tempranillo
- Pinot Grigio
- Chardonnay
