Why this tank

When the wine needs more than one role from the same tank.

An Enclosed Fermenter is not chosen simply because the tank is enclosed. It is chosen when the wine needs a more manageable fermentation environment, and the cellar needs the freedom to decide how that tank works from one batch to the next.

For red wine, that means beginning with the variety, the intended style, and the level of protection the wine needs. For the wider cellar, it means a jacketed format that can move into white fermentation, storage, or aging as the vintage unfolds.

The same decision continues after fermentation. Clear-wine recovery, draining, and cleaning shape the end of each batch just as much as temperature and access shape the beginning. The right tank plan keeps these decisions connected without forcing every wine into the same path.

01

Protect what the variety brings

Give the wine a more stable, manageable environment, then decide when protection matters and when air belongs in the process.

02

Keep capacity useful across the vintage

Move from red fermentation to white fermentation, storage, or aging as lots, timing, and cellar priorities change.

03

Plan each batch beyond fermentation

Racking, draining, and cleaning are part of the tank decision because they shape how clearly the team can finish one batch and prepare for the next.

How Olavin designs

The tank is only defined after the winemaking decisions are clear.

Olavin does not treat an enclosed fermenter as a fixed tank with a list of options. We begin with the wine to be made, how oxygen will be handled, the roles the tank must carry, and how the cellar team will rack and clean it. Those decisions shape the final tank and its operating plan.

Specifications
