Concrete Vessel

A concrete tank or vessel used for fermentation or aging.

<h2>What it means in wine</h2> <p>Concrete can offer thermal stability and, depending on construction, gentle oxygen exchange without adding oak flavor. Shapes vary from square tanks to egg-shaped vessels.</p> <h2>Why it matters</h2> <p>Concrete is a vessel choice, not a flavor guarantee; its effect depends on lining, porosity, size, and winemaking.</p>
