Located in Charente, outside of Cognac and with over 30 years dedicated solely to the design and manufacture of large oak vessels, our cooperage is well experienced in the production of wooden tanks of up to 500hL in capacity. For shipment to ANZ we offer sizes from 10-70hL, fully assembled for immediate use. Purchased mainly from state forests managed by the ONF (Office National des Forêts), all our oak is certified as PEFC. After the trees are harvested, we cut long planks of 54mm and 65mm thickness which are then naturally open air dried for a minimum of 4 years. Having discussed the exact requirements of your project (end use, choice of accessories, site constraints) our in-house design team will make a drawing following the complete specifications in conjunction with our artisan coopers. A clear description, detailed drawing and a quote are all provided for you to sign before we commence production. Once approved, the precise construction work begins.

Tonnellerie VLAD is a Romanian Cooperage situated in the Transylvanian forest area. Oak is sourced from three forest regions of Romania - Transylvania, Moldovia and Wallachia.
VLAD has its own stave mill and wood yard for maturing the oak for 36 months, where it is artisanal crafted with long toasting from one to four hours. All oak from Vlad is from PEFC and FC certified forests. Barrels are crafted in 225L, 228L, 300L, 500L. VLAD 225L is available in thin stave (22mm) or regular stave (27mm). The barrels are of high quality and are competitively priced.
Toasting is artisanal – use of incandescent oak embers and slow (two to four hours) low temperature toasting allows the toast to penetrate the staves up to 10mm, and develops refined and subtle oaky notes.
