Flextank has partnered with one of the leading cooperage companies in the world to provide a proprietary staves system under the brand name FlexStaves that are designed to work in conjunction with our tanks.  Available to winemakers is a portfolio of different staves bundles types that are used to make a wide range red and white wines.

Each pack of FlexStaves is one barrel equivalent and serves to mirror aging in traditional oak barrels. So instead of putting wine into oak, winemakers can achieve greater control but putting the desired amount of oak into the wine. This system extends new barrel oak by exposing the maximum amount of wine to the maximum surface of the oak. And unlike barrels, once a desired profile is achieved, the oak to be easily removed.
