Staggemeyer creates barrel staves for the aging of the finest wines, bringing the best array and depth of flavor notes our premium white oak has to offer.
Our locally sourced white oak is recognized for its desirable growth characteristics – slow, with extra-tight straight grain. All our oak is grown nearby from forests in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Iowa – sharing a similar latitude of the Bordeaux region of France. Staggemeyer staves are milled to exact specifications by seasoned professionals – truly an art form. Our staves are hand-sorted and aged in open-air seasoning in our yard for 2-1/2 to 3 years to augment their intrinsic flavor qualities. It’s no wonder we have customers from all over the world seeking our exceptional staves.
