It´s all about
the wine.

It’s all about
the wine and
its flavour!

A good barrel must enhance the value of the wine. So the
family business puts all its professional expertise into every one
of its products.

In collaboration with their customers, the family are constantly developing innovative ideas in order to best meet every need they encounter. The key to their work is the correct timber. The task of selecting it falls to Jakob Pauscha, who personally inspects and chooses the fine-pored timber in Germany, Austria, France, Romania and Hungary. For us, high-quality service, punctuality and partnership with our customers are the top priority.

By combining traditional craftsmanship with a spirit of innovation, we create barrels for the world’s most exquisite wines.

The tradition and the secret of toasting.

For barriques and barrels of between 300 and 500 litres, we use only cleaved oak timber from France, Hungary and Austria. Many years of cooperation with French and European timber suppliers guarantee the best quality. On customer request, barrels can also be made of acacia timber.

All our barrels are bound over an open flame and processed further using traditional methods. The oak timber used and the type of toasting, from light to medium and medium-strong to strong, produces a variety of aromas. Jakob Pauscha personally supervises every stage in production to ensure the high quality standards are met.

The toasting is a very delicate process which promises the best possible results for wines.

„The wood, the toasting, and ultimately the wine must be in harmony with each other.“

Jakob Pauscha

„As a wine connoisseur, I’m proud to drink excellent wines from our
own barrels.“

Julia Kainz-Pauscha

We are proud of our customers!
