Is Flexcube a Fit for Your Winery?
Evaluating a new aging vessel system requires careful consideration of your winemaking philosophy, operational capacity, and long-term production goals.
What to Evaluate Before You Choose a Flexcube System
WATCH: FLEXCUBE Evolution
Wine Style & Maturation Goals
The choice of aging vessel directly impacts oxygen transmission and oak influence. Evaluate if your target profile requires the specific permeability and integration capabilities of a polymer system.
Wine style • Oak integration • Maturation approach
Blending strategy
Cellar Space & Storage Strategy
Assess your current footprint and how cubic vs. cylindrical storage impacts your overall capacity. Consider height clearances, floor load ratings, and maneuvering requirements for forklifts.
Cellar layout • Storage capacity • Access • Space planning

Operational Workflow
Evaluate how your cellar team handles filling, draining, and sanitation. Flexcube systems are designed to integrate into existing workflows while optimizing for movement efficiency.
Filling • Draining • Cleaning • Movement • Cellar workflow
Implementation Path
Identify your production scale and whether a pilot lot or a phased rollout is the most effective approach for integrating new technology into your cellar program.
Pilot lot • Phased planning • Production goals • Long-term fit

Key Flexcube Considerations
This is a concise overview of supported product characteristics. Evaluation depends on the winery’s requirements.
Passive Oxygenation Options
Oak Integration
Vessel permeability and OTR levels can be evaluated based on the specific maturation requirements of the varietal and style.
Polymer vessels are designed to support various oak formats; integration results may support different levels of complexity depending on stave contact time.
Cellar Efficiency
Operational Design
Space utilization and stackability factors may support increased storage capacity per square foot in compact cellar environments.
Every installation can be evaluated to ensure seamless integration with existing pump, cleaning, and rack systems for the cellar team.
