SONOMA CAST STONE
The Ultimate Space-Saver
Square tanks maximize spatial efficiency, making them an excellent choice for wineries aiming to optimize layout—particularly in new or space-constrained facilities, and our Towers take that eficient to new heights!
The geometry of these tanks also promotes a favorable ratio of skin contact with the grape must, enhancing extraction of color and flavor compounds.
Concrete’s porous nature allows for gentle micro-oxidation, which softens tannins and elevates the wine’s fruit and terroir expression. Thanks to its high thermal mass, concrete naturally moderates fermentation temperatures.
Only Sonoma Cast Stone concrete wine tanks are guaranteed against cracks and leaks for ten years.
A unique style of engineering that makes Sonoma Cast Stone concrete tanks incredibly durable.

Easier Punch-Downs & Visual Monitoring: Open tops allow winemakers to manually or mechanically punch down the cap (the mass of skins, seeds, and stems that float to the top), ensuring better extraction of color, tannins, and flavor.
Controlled exposure to oxygen during fermentation promotes healthy yeast activity and can soften tannins, contributing to a rounder, more approachable wine.
Ideal for artisanal or boutique winemaking, open-top fermenters are often used for small batches, experimental lots, or premium cuvées where hands-on control is essential.
The open environment allows undesirable volatile compounds (like sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide) to dissipate more easily, resulting in purer aromas.
OPTIONAL
Some winemakers prefer this time-honored technique for a more tactile, traditional approach. It often aligns with natural or low-intervention winemaking philosophies.
