Industry Leading Innovative Storage Solutions and Products

The revolutionary Flextank system was meticulously engineered to give a precision level of linear micro-oxygenation in multiple tank options.

Flextanks enable winemakers to control various levels of oxygen transfer rate (OTR) which is essential in winemaking.

The semipermeable polymer tank walls have a specific gradient that allows oxygen molecules to move through the vessel and into the beverage, and provide micro-oxygenation. Other molecules, such as ethanol and water, are blocked and do not escape a Flextank wall like they do in a traditional barrel.

This eliminates “angel’s share” (loss of wine from a barrel), and the need for constant cellar humidity monitoring.

Hundreds of wine and cidermakers have received industry awards for their beverages. Your success is our success. We’re with you.

After years of hobby cider making, around 1999 we decided to start a cidery. There wasn’t a lot of information available at the time so we took a trip through England, France and Northern Spain to learn more about it. The trip through the “old world” convinced us that producing traditional styles of cider was what we wanted to do. Because we were certified organic, we knew that ease of cleaning and sanitation would be critical to our success and searched for tanks that would fit the bill, and that were also affordable. We found information about Flextanks and in 2008 we bought our first set!

We first came across Flextank’s Apollo tanks on a visit to Napa in 2013, and were fortunately able to source them in for the 2014 vintage in South Africa. Started with a couple of Apollo tanks for the 2014 vintage, but were so impressed with them that we now have 12 of them at our cellar.

Andrea Mullineux

I consult for over a hundred small wineries and frequently recommend Flextanks.  They breathe like a barrel — unlike a stainless steel vessel, they allow off-gassing as well as oxygen uptake.  In concert with well-selected oak alternatives can yield aging results comparable or superior to a good French Oak barrel at a fraction of the cost.  We prefer their design to other plastic containers because they are designed to be topped and don’t have any air pockets.

We employ a variety of techniques and cooperage types (stainless, barrels, concrete tanks, and Flextanks). Flextanks have become an absolutely indispensable tool in our goal of making delicious wines in a range of styles. In addition to being the best tanks to maximize the use of oak alternatives, our Flextanks are loved by our cellar staff — easy to clean, space efficient, and convenient for making additions.
