By owning the facilities in France, Chile and the United States, Nadalie offers not only superior quality control but also the ability to manufacture custom-made products to your specifications.

Nadalie has established strict production parameters to control all its processes including milling, splitting, seasoning, grain selection and production.

French CTB (Centre Technique du Bois) inspections and certification ensure integrity of source of oak, traditional barrel making methods and aging of planks.

Nadalie's intricate tracability system ensures Nadalie can guarantee the origin of the wood used to make barrels from the forest to the cask.

Oaks and oak products

The range of oak used includes French, American and Eastern European. With the inevitable growth of alternative products, Nadalie has expanded its range to keep in sync with the industry's requirements for top quality products. They include: WINEWOOD™ (Planks), Chips, Dominoes, Blocks, Cubes, Barrel inserts, Barrel chains (Chapelets) and Powders.

Trials of these products consistently prove that Nadalie's attention to detail and the use of only correctly seasoned and fire toasted oak results in the highest performance and a preferred status (from winery trials) amongst Australia's leading vignerons.

Air drying over several years, tight to medium grains and oak fire toasting of the wood are all essential elements and are conducted at the highest possible level to maintain quality and consistency.

Specifications of the wood or toasting (temperatures, contact time and intensity) can be altered to achieve a more consistent or specific flavour profile for the winemaker.
