Improving Upon Barrels
Flextank’s patent-pending maturation vessels provide all barrel functions, with more winemaker control, in a hygienic and long-lasting vessel made from food grade polyethylene. They retain volatile flavor compounds lost from barrels and deny Angels their share. Sizes range from 50 to 570 gallons.

Flextank maturation vessels are engineered to permit oxygen permeation at a rate similar to an average second year barrel at cellar temperature (55º F). Oxygen enters the wine directly across the polyethylene tank surface. The driving force for oxygen permeation is the difference in oxygen concentration in the atmosphere (21%) on one side of the polyethylene tank and maturing wine (0%) on the other. Flextank maturation vessels and near new wooden barrels both provide a similar oxygenation environment for wine maturation.

Wine Flavor Control
All wine makers strive to produce a consistent, high quality product. The consistency of performance between Flextank vessels, and the availability of a wide range of oak adjuncts in the form of staves, chips, spirals, blocks etc., allows a winemaker a veritable smorgasbord of opportunity to experiment with flavor in a reproducible environment.
