Who We Are

An Australian Dream Became a Reality

It’s the 21st century and winemakers are still using barrels to produce wine: An expensive, exhaustive supply of precious forest oak being cut down to make traditional wine barrels. There must be a better way.

The dream was to replicate and improve on traditional, expensive oak barrels. This has challenged winemakers over the centuries…until in 2001 a couple of Australian engineers came up with a solution using polymer.

Flexcube was born.

Flexcubes mimic the oxygen permeability levels of barrels, but unlike barrels, these levels remain constant over time providing an almost unlimited lifespan of reliable performance.

Flexcube also offers winemakers true barrel Oak BarriQ sourced from the finest forests in France, Russia and America. The oak BarriQ comes in profiles that match the flavours, tannins, aromatics, and complexities of the finest barrels.

Over the years Flexcube has gained wide acceptance from winemakers, even in traditional markets. Flexcubes have been used in Australia and around the world since 2001 and are currently leading the market in the area of new-age winemaking. Notable and award-winning wines have come from our cubes, which are manufactured and assembled in Australia and China for distribution worldwide.

The concept is straightforward:

Oxygen permeable polymer Flexcubes containing wine are coupled with true barrel oak, the exact same oak that is used to make traditional oak barrels. We put the oak in the wine, not the wine in the oak.
