TCA Free Wine Corks

Natural Cork Treated to Reduce Levels of TCA & Other Aromatic Non-Desirables

TCA is a chemical that even in trace amounts can produce overpowering smells and tastes in a wine. While there are no health concerns associated with TCA, small amounts of TCA can leave a wine unpleasant or dull while high levels of TCA can cause the wine to be unpalatable. The Cary Company also sells TCA free agglomerated corks that have gone through a super critical CO2 extraction process to remove TCA to below detectable levels as well as other non-desirable aromatic compounds.
