Oak Upright Vats

Truncated-cone oak vats for wine fermentation and aging, available from 12 to 110 hL. Oak staves provide gradual oxygen exchange during fermentation and support color stabilization and tannin development. The vats can be equipped with a steel lid in 600, 800 or 1,000 mm diameter, allowing open-air fermentation and manual or mechanical punch-down. After fermentation, the lid can be refitted so the vessel can also be used for wine aging.
