Flextank vs. a Two-Year-Old Oak Barrel: A Study
Flowers & Bloom
Have you wondered about the taste comparison between a Flextank and an oak barrel? We love making believers out of individuals in the pursuit of winemaking mastery.
Here are some of the top findings from a recent study by Daniel Pambianchi ‘A Comparative Study on the Evolution of Wine Aged for 12 Months in a Flextank vs. a Two-Year-Old Oak Barrel’
“This study demonstrates that, for the first 6 months, the ECO15 Flextank mimics a 55-L (14.5-gal) two-year-old oak barrel from an oxygen transfer rate (OTR) perspective provided that the lid is tightly sealed.
The lower phenol content and acidity made the Flextank wine taste smoother after 6 months.
There were no organoleptic differences that stood out even though a concentration effect was expected in the barrel wine due to evaporative losses; both wines recorded similar alcohol concentrations throughout the study.
We invite you to view Daniel’s work and the study in it’s entirety here Techniques in Home Winemaking.
