Enclosed Fermenter

There are over 500 wineries in Napa. They differ a lot in historical architecture, romantic ambience, but there is one thing the majority of Napa wineries have in common: they are pretty fond of using a closed top, fully jacketed stainless steel wine fermenter, to make their red wine, as well as white wine. They call this tank a closed top fermenter, or enclosed fermenter.

No. 2

Variable Capacity Tank

There is a great truth in the statement that pinot noir is the hardest wine to make in the world. It is a great challenge to winemakers to make the best color and flavor out of its thin skins.

Open top fermenter (OT fermenter in short) is always the first choice to ferment pinot noir thanks to its easy cap management. It is important to handle the skins gently from the top. Temperature is another key factor to consider. During setting and aging process, a floating lid is applied to make the open top fermenter a closed tank. Conventionally, such tank is names a variable capacity tank (VC tank, VC fermenter), or a floating lid tank.
