Cross-section of a tank wall, showing the colorful exterior, smooth, cleanable interior and (optional) embedded tubing for temperature control.

Optional, embedded glycol heating/cooling tubing gives even temperature control throughout the tank and throughout the fermentation.

Talk about “terrior” …our tanks are made from the same rock, sand and Sierra water as California grapes themselves.

Choice of eight finished exterior colors to convey a high level of quality associated with your winery.

The optional pomace port lines up with the tank bottom for easy cleaning. Doors can include racking valve.

Unlike other concrete tanks, our tanks are serviced locally and are backed with a 5-year warranty against any cracking.

Custom made to your specifications. Options, colors, fitting locations and even size and shapes can be modified for your needs.

Your logo, your color, your accessories, your design = Your Tank. Each tank is custom-made and beautiful to display.

An ever-increasing variety of shapes and sizes to suit your winery, your budget, and your wine.

Most of the world’s highest-rated wines are made in concrete, and American winemakers are rediscovering this european technique which enjoys the

virtues of both oak and steel with the disadvantages of neither.Concrete: the proof is in the glass.

We have been in the California Wine Country for 20 years, and our wine tankswere designed in consultation with the regional winemakers here.

Our express purpose was to make the world’s greatest wines.A lofty goal? Certainly. Achievable? Yes.

“…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.” Wind Gap Winery | pax Mahle, WineMaker

the ClaSSiC egg a Very old / neW idea


Sonoma Cast Stone fermentation tanks are constructed from the

best of both worlds, the old and the new. The inside casting is done

with traditional, colorless concrete made of chlorination-free water,

the same formula used for centuries in European concrete wine tanks.

The outer shell is composed of our EarthCrete™, a revolutionary, new

FiberCast concrete that is both environmentally-sustainable

and extra strong.

This unique combination gives maximum strength. The independent, outer

shell also permits the egg to be made in a variety of colors, because the

pigmented concrete never comes into contact with the wine.

We can even emboss your name or logo directly onto the concrete, making these

intriguing tanks an added attraction for your tasting room or winery tour.

“The temperature in the french tanks got up to 75º, but in this (temperature controlled) tank, it’s never above 53º.” Cliff lede Vineyards | kale anderson, WineMaker

“I’m already blown away by the color density from concrete versus stainless steel.”

“Assists in

oxygenation of

the wines.”

“Thermodynamics

of the shape aids fluid

movement for temperature

and reduces pressure

on the lees.”

“Shape also aids the deposition

of the lees across a larger floor

area than a barrel and avoids the

need for stirring.”

“Material is porous, allowing

the fermenting wine to breathe

without imparting any flavors.“

“Concrete is insulative while

stainless steel is conductive,

concrete acts as a low-tech

temperature control.”

“Used for some

of the world’s most

expensive wines.“

“Concrete

fermenters give

the wine more

character”

“Expresses the bright fruit

characters of the wine with

fragrant aromas”

“Retains more fruit flavors as

well as complexity.”

“Excellent temperature retention,

concrete is insulated, reducing

cooling and/or heating energy.”

“Temperature stays even for

longer periods.”

“Provides a soft, gentle

fermentation leaving

the aromas intact”

“High end wineries

are trying them, that

is where the

trends start.”

“Another one of the things I like about them is that the egg shape forces the cap to stay submerged.”

Care & maintenanCe ContaCt and SaleS


Sonoma cast Stone concreteTanks Are Designed And intended ForWine Fermentation And Wine Storage.

Before usageBefore usage, inside tank walls should be thoroughly washed with a 10% solution of Tartaric Acid and non-chlorinated water, repeat process until no further reaction between the acid and the calcium in the concrete. Follow with a water rinse.

NoteTo protect the outside of the tank from acid etching and staining, cover outside of tank by wrapping with a clear plastic. (as shown at left) Seal the plastic to the stainless steel rim at the top of the tank with duct tape, seal thoroughly so drips or spills of acid will not pass through and run down the side of the tank. Have someone stand ready with a water hose to keep the outside of tank wet throughout the process.

Be careful not to spill Tartaric Acid on the outside of the tank while lowering spray device or applicator into the tank and if acid is spilled on the tank you should dilute immediately with water.

The outside of the tank is coated with a stain resistant sealer to maintain the original look and finish. Although stain resistant, spilled wine could result in staining on the tank unless promptly cleaned.

Special care should be taken when moving or transporting the Egg fermentation tank. The tank must be empty as the liquid movement within the tank may cause unwanted tank movement. This warranty does not include any damage that might occur as a result of moving the tank. Special lifting and moving pallets are available from our company. These must be used by qualified personnel in the manner prescribed by the company.

If your tank has the optional temperature control tubing embedded within the cavity of the concrete shell, liquid pressure exceeding 100 psi or temperatures exceeding 175˚ are not included within this warranty.

Stainless steel valves, hatches and accessories purchased from third parties carry the warranties provided by these vendors.
