Tanks with a unique manufacturing process

The wine tanks from Sonoma by SAS have a double layer that helps oxygenate the wine and, in turn, protects its exterior. In the external layer, we include the colour in mass, which ensures that our clients do not have to paint their concrete tanks from time to time.

Assured micro-oxygenation
Thanks to its porosity, it is often said that concrete “breathes”. This characteristic of our tanks gives the wine better organoleptic attributes.
In ageing, the concrete allows the wines to be micro-oxygenated without the aromatic impact of the wood.

Resistance and durability
Our concrete wine tanks are not only aesthetically attractive, but even our concrete is different. We use a unique double-layer concrete system in our wine tanks that make them superior in strength and durability.

Testimonials

“At DeLoach Vineyards we have been trialing the NuBarrel for the last several vintages and have been impressed with what they have lent to our wines. Besides giving us an optimal size for small lot fermentations, it also lends a minerality and beneficial textural element to our Chardonnay, while preserving more fruit characteristics in aromatic wines than we would see in oak barrels. Overall we feel it captures the texture and softening effects of traditional barrel fermentation while capturing the purity of fruit we expect from stainless steel.”

Brian Maloney
Winemaker, Deloach Vineyards

“We shoot our capital budget every year on barrels. That’s the elephant. Then the little bit of money we have left-over we can spend on other things to make our wine better, but barrels eat-up all of our capital, and then they depreciate so quickly. Five or six years later they’re going out of here, and it’s a disposal problem, so these NuBarrels just give us a lot more options.”

John Williams
Owner, Frog’s Leap

“For our Matanzas Creek Helena Bench Sauvignon Blanc, the concrete egg fermentation is a critical component that enhances minerality. In this wine, the minerality expresses as river rocks from the terroir of the foots of mountain St. Helena where the grapes come from.”

Marcia Torres Forno
Winemaker, Matanzas Creek

“Concrete gives the wine the weight and texture of a barrel fermentation, but rather than tasting like a barrel, the wine tastes like where it was grown.”
