Oak Wine Barrels
Here is a video of Tonnellerie Radoux's Master Cooper building French Oak Wine Barrels on site at a winery.
This is what is meant by "Fire Bent" French Oak staves.
Francis is also the gentleman responsible for making the American, French, and Eastern European barrels coopered in Santa Rosa.
Our barrels are made from Minnesota, Missouri, Appalachian, Eastern Europe (Hungary, etc.), and Center of France Oak.
Each individual stave has to pass inspection to meet it's grain classification standards.

Tonnellerie Radoux
"Radoux" (Rah/doo) understands that there is as much art and science in engineering the barrel for your specific wine as there is in the wine you make.
We offer Eastern European Oak, French Oak, Minnesota Oak, Appalachian Oak, Missouri Oak, and blends of origins or grains that will knock your socks off. We pride ourselves on knowing Eastern terrior and recommending the correct barrel for your style, aging period, varietal, and budget.
Once we have found the right barrel for your cellar, we get closer to repeating that result next year because we have moved away from blind forest designation. Instead, our research and tasting trials have proven that our methodology - in using a broader geographic region and a rigorous grain classification of each stave from each tree - helps us trust the oak and eliminates the need for trusting the forest.
We age all of our staves until each one is at a specific percentage of moisture content and build every barrel by hand after classifying each stave. This keeps us on a predictable path. No two trees are perfectly identical, but we try to use as many highly similar staves in each barrel as possible to produce the best quality that we can.
The responsibility of New World Winery Equipment, LLC is to understand Radoux's stave selection, geographical oak origin, cooperage and toasting well enough so that when we discuss your winemaking style and philosophy on oak, we know exactly what to recommend.
We want to know everything about how each wine will be made and how long the barrels are used so that we can build you the barrel you need to accomplish your goal. We know that each state, region, appellation and vineyard have their own terroir. Each variety has differing levels of acidity and different challenges in ripening from place to place, all of these factors influence your oak and toasting selections. We want you to make the best wine possible and we offer over 3,000 combinations of oak, grain, toasting, and sizes of barrels to accomplish this.
The quality of our wine barrels is on a par with some of the most expensive oak on the market. Our prices are not the lowest you will find because we are still artisans; still making them one at a time.
Radoux's French, American, and Eastern European Oak barrels, Oak Tanks, Hog's Heads, and Puncheons are complimented by a full offering of Oak Alternatives under our Pronektar brand.
Together, these products bring to bear a level of quality not known in our price niche elsewhere in the industry.
