When a barrel becomes too expensive, winemakers need alternative oak options that deliver the “fine oak touch.” Toneleria Nacional Barrel Alternatives are the solution – our combination of fine grain oak and unique hot-air toasting delivers structural finesse and elegance with discreet aromatic expression, just like a barrel.

All Nacional barrel alternatives are available in both French and American oak.

Viniblocks (Domino’s) – unique block size contributing fine oak characters; versatile packaging options.

Ministaves (Tech-Staves) – planed prior to toasting to provide the perfect barrel replication.

Zig-Zags (50%) & Mini Zig-Zags (25%) barrels inserts – breathes new life into old barrels, very cost effective.

Powder – premium grade, ultra fine oak powder, the finest on the market.

Rice – 1-3mm chip size for worry free air-bag pressing.
