Over the years, World Cooperage has become well known for its diverse, definable flavour profiles made possible by proprietary ‘Barrel Profiling” toasting technology.  As barrel selection becomes increasingly precise, the World Cooperage barrel portfolio offers an opportunity to select or develop a unique match for every wine program.

“We collaborate with winemakers through science research and sensory descriptive analysis to ensure the best pairing between wine and barrel,” said Patrick Schwerdt, general manager of Cooperages 1912 Australia, which represents World Cooperage barrels in Australia and New Zealand. “By working in consultation with our clients, we provide barrels that complement the style the winemaker is seeking with oak not being the dominant feature of the wine.”

To help winemakers identify barrel profiles suited to their wine program, the Cooperages 1912 team developed an interactive barrel profiler available at worldcooperage.com. This online system allows winemakers to explore time-tested profiles by wood type and target varietal or attribute.

Founded in 1912, World Cooperage is a fourth-generation, family-owned cooperage. Contact the Cooperages 1912 Australia barrel sales team to learn more by calling +61 (08) 85631356 or visit www.cooperages1912.com.au
