The ground breaking robotic barrel rejuvenation system, Phoenix, developed by DBS can assist all wineries in acheiving consistent quality while minimising costs.
Key features of our Phoenix service include:
Cost Effective
The patented Phoenix barrel rejuvenation process extends the life of wine barrels by up to three years at around a third of the cost of a new barrel. In Australia this is a tax deduction but please seek your accountants advice.
Superior Contamination Removal
Phoenix removes all wine contaminants to a depth of 8mm exposing clean wood and restoring original oak flavour characteristics. The hi-tech Phoenix process utilises percision laser scanning and a high speed computer controlled cutting tool that removes up to 8mm off the inside of the barrel to reveal clean oak.
No Colour Leaching
The contaminated oak removal is so effective that even barrels previously containing red wine can be used successfully for white wine fermentation and maturation.
Infra-red Toasting
Ultra-consistent infrared toasting is applied using computer technology that removes the risk of toast variation and blistering.
New Heads
Each barrel is then re-crozed and fitted with 24 month country of origin seasoned French or American oak heads.
Phoenix has been developed by Diverse Barrel Solutions with support from the Australian Government via their Commercial Ready Grant Scheme.
