Wine and Spirit Barrels

Our barrels are exported under our proprietary Galician Oak brand. We can also deliver them
with a neutral finish or under your own private label. Our premium range spans from 5 liters
to 400 liters.

We take immense pride in the technical precision of our toasting processes. We offer 18
distinct fire-toasting options, alongside our exclusive infrared Faraday toast. This
innovative method ensures an incredibly refined tannin extraction, fully preserving the natural
aromatic profile of your wines. No smoky notes, no carbon residue—just the pure expression
of the fruit blended with the elegance of sessile oak.

Sourced directly from the finest, sustainably managed forests in Ukraine, meticulously
seasoned in our open-air wood yard, and enhanced by our diverse toasting profiles, we work
hand-in-hand with you to choose THE perfect barrel for your specific requirements.

Our FSC certification guarantees fully traceable, responsible sourcing and absolute
production ethics.

Oak alternatives

Enhance your aromatic profiles with complete flexibility and precision through our
comprehensive range of oak alternatives. A high-performance solution to sculpt your vintages
on measure while optimizing your cellar management.

Oak Chips and Dominos: Mastering the Aroma

Available in untoasted versions (to add structure, volume, and freshness) or toasted versions,
our chips and dominos (blocks) benefit from our famous Faraday toast. This exclusive
infrared process ensures a perfectly uniform heat penetration deep into the wood matrix. The
result is absolute aromatic consistency across batches, releasing delicate notes of vanilla and
sweet spices without ever imparting bitterness or dryness.

Sensory Innovation: Smoked & Peated Oak Chips

Beyond traditional toasting, we expand oenological boundaries with a unique wood-smoking
process designed to elevate both wines and spirits. Our premium oak alternatives are
available in two exclusive profiles:

Classic Smoked: Delivers a subtle aromatic patina, revealing delicate toasted notes
and enhanced palate complexity without any bitterness.

Peated Smoked: A technical breakthrough imparting the distinct phenolic and smoky
character of fine single malts—ideal for structuring spirits or crafting bold, distinctive
wine cuvées.

Through precise combustion and exposure control, this exclusive expertise guarantees
impressive, repeatable results and seamless integration. A high-end precision tool for
bespoke flavor profiling.

Tank Staves (7 mm & 12 mm): Reimagining the Aging Process
For a progressive, well-integrated oak profile comparable to traditional barrel aging, our
staves fit seamlessly into your vats. We offer two thicknesses tailored to your extraction
kinetics goals: 7 mm and 12 mm, available in both untoasted and toasted options.

Premium Oak Staves

With our dual expertise as both stave splitters and coopers, we select, process, and export the finest Ukrainian oak. Because we craft our own barrels, we fully understand your exact technical requirements: grain regularity, precise splitting quality, and mastered open-air seasoning.

We put this unique expertise at the service of the most demanding cooperages and procurement managers worldwide.

A Wealth of Diverse Terroirs, a Guarantee of Sustainability

Our strength lies in absolute upstream control, thanks to 5 stave mills strategically located across Ukraine's primary forest regions.

Oenological diversity: This unique footprint allows us to select a wide variety of terroirs, proven by our own coopering experience and validated by numerous tastings of wines aged on our wood.

Responsible sourcing: All our high-forest timber purchases are rigorously monitored and FSC-certified, ensuring full traceability and sustainable forest management.

About Us

[ENGLISH] Наше товариство бере початки ще з 1879 року. Різні коливання історії не змогли знищити давню традицію і вміння виготовлення бочок.

Після проголошення незалежності України, наше товариство приватизувалося і зуміло відновити свою діяльність скидаючись на технічну еволюцію, не відкидаючи тим самим досвід попередніх поколінь.

З 1995 року ми експортуємо в основному готову клепку у Францію, і завдяки численним дегустаціям ми зуміли знайти найкращі регіони, де росте найкращий дуб в Україні.

Наш дуб в основному з Волині та Бессарабії славиться своїми ванільними ароматами та ніжністю дубильних речовин.

Наш технічний персонал навчався у Франції з метою здобуття необхідних знань для виготовлення бочок відповідно до вимог сучасного виноробства.

Перші дегустації з наших бочок дозволяли нам підтвердити наш вибір щодо лісових регіонів та способів випалювання бочки з середини, які ми можемо адаптувати відповідно до бажань наших клієнтів – виноробів.

Наш завод з виготовлення дубових бочок розташований в самому серці Карпат, виключно славиться своїм екологічним оточуючим середовищем. Ми взагалі не використовуємо штучних речовин, ні мастіки, ані клеїв, і навіть вода, якою випробовуємо наші бочки джерельна.
