THE NEW BARREL

Stackable NuBarrels®

How much did your winery spend on oak last year?

CONCRETE NuBARRELS

One NuBarrel =
Forty Oak Barrels

Your oak barrels should last a few years. Our concrete NuBarrels will last a few decades. One NuBarrel will ultimately yield the wine of more than forty oak barrels.

And that’s just one of the advantages….

CONCRETE NUBARRELS

Less Space =
More Profit

NuBarrels make for a much more efficient configuration than oak. Concrete NuBarrels require less than one third of the warehouse space per gallon of wine yielded.

CONCRETE NUBARRELS

Tested
For Safety

We lived through the Napa Earthquake alongside our winery neighbors, and that haunting memory informs our engineering going forward. NuBarrels can bolt to the floor–and bolt to each other. This design has passed rigorous shake-testing at the U.C. Berkeley Seismology Center.

CONCRETE NUBARRELS

Nothing For
The Angels

There is nothing heavenly about the “angel’s share”. Studies show that wineries lose thousands of dollars to evaporation. This is not true with concrete which only loses a tiny fraction of that.

CONCRETE NUBARRELS

Superior Wine

A concrete wine tanks is a neutral vessel like steel, but one that breathes like oak. You get the benefits of both with the drawbacks of neither. That means pure, fruit-forward flavor with depth, a crisp minimality and enhanced mouth-feel. The wine tastes more like where it’s from.

Decades of
Quality

The quality of oak begins to diminish on day one and continues to degrade for all the time it’s in use. This is not true with concrete which delivers the same great quality year and year after year….
