Description
Red wine mash fermentation tank with oak shell FD-MKEH
The fermentation tank with oak shell, the FD-MKEH tank, unites all the advantages of a Speidel tank with the characteristics of a real oak barrel.
The respiration and perfect temperature equalisation guaranteed by the tank’s wooden shell permits a sensory balancing of the aroma. The connection of oak and stainless steel creates a significant improvement in quality.
The unique groove joint connection of oak and stainless steel guarantees two things: you will obtain better wines and be able to enjoy this Speidel-made ‘gem’ for many years to come.
The red wine mash fermentation tank with oak shell comes with a mash bottom outlet and a hinged door. The bottom outlet is made of stainless steel and – in contrast to tanks that are entirely made of wood – guarantees easier draining and cleaning.
