Since 2019, Bouchard Cooperages has proudly represented Schneckenleitner, Austria’s premier producer of large-format oak puncheons, casks, and tanks, in North America. Family-owned and operated since 1880 in Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Schneckenleitner produces over 180 large-format oak tanks annually for the world’s most prestigious cellars. 🍇✨

Vertically Integrated Stave Mill
From forest to cooperage, Schneckenleitner controls every step. Logs are hand-selected from Austria’s tight-grain Weidling forest and seasoned on-site along the Ybbs River, benefiting from a unique microclimate for optimal oak seasoning.

New Product Offerings
Puncheons (500L–800L): Available in Austrian Oak Elegance (AOE) for whites and light reds, and Austrian Oak Complex (AOC) for richer whites and darker reds. Expect delicate spice and impeccable craftsmanship.
Ovals (10 HL+): A cellar space-maximizing favorite, perfect for fermenting and aging whites with less lees-to-juice contact.
Rounds (10 HL+): Ideal for reds—popular in France's Rhône Valley, Bordeaux, and Italy—with customizable hatch door placement.
NEW! Conical Tanks (10 HL+): Versatile for both reds and whites, Schneckenleitner’s conical tanks are now available in North America.

Expanded Cooperage
In 2022, Schneckenleitner unveiled their newly renovated cooperage, bringing everything—craftsmanship, wood aging, and production—under one roof in their stunning river and forest setting.
