The secret of Smart Fog lies in the small droplet size of the water and the engineered spacing between the air and water. Smart Fog has succeeded in manipulating the droplet size to be the smallest in the industry.
Why is the droplet size important?
Water evaporates only from the surface of the droplet. If the surface area of the droplet in relation to the volume of water is decreased, then the evaporation efficiency is increased. The smaller the droplet size, the longer it can stay air borne. Therefore, the smaller the droplet size the fastest and efficient evaporation is achieved. The 4.2 micron droplets created by Smart Fog® systems evaporate completely into the air before reaching any surface. Smart Fog® has achieved 100% evaporation rate, achieving 100% water efficiency. SMART FOG IS A FOG THAT DOES NOT MOISTEN THE EXPOSED SURFACES

The top offering from Saury. Hand selected and hand crafted every step of the way. Saury Premium is made using the best French oak sourced from the finest “Haute Futaie” forests of central France and seasoned for more than three years under the perfect conditions found at the Saury cooperage, located near the foot of the Massif Central mountains.

Saury Bourgogne is an impressive Burgundian barrel offering a perfect balance of fine toast aromatics and textural finesse. Crafted exclusively with 3 year seasoned wood from a blend of centre of France forests and toasted using a large traditional Burgundy brazier, giving two very distinctive toast levels to match with your Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Shiraz or Syrah and other wine styles as you prefer.
We offer great tasting American Oak barrels from the Saury Sonoma Cooperage in California. Oak is sourced and seasoned in the forests of North-East America and then toasted using our long slow toasting methods to bring out delicious aromas of dark chocolate and mocha. Our coopers finish the toasting with a higher temperature to deliver a savoury palate profile which marries perfectly with the sweetness of quality American Oak. There’s no coconut here, think vanilla, chocolate, sweet oak and spice!
Dating back to the early 1700's, Tonnellerie LEROI was originally founded as the exclusive cooperage for Martell Cognac and is the oldest continuous cooperage in France. Our master coopers craft barrels of exceptional quality, providing structural lift, balance, richness and volume to young wines throughout the world.
If you are currently using barrels in your program from Taransaud and Seguin Moreau, we challenge you to also try Tonnellerie LEROI to realise the qualities that the smallest cooperage in the region, but also the oldest in France, can bring to your wine.

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.
