[CWINE]3 TCA-Free Agglomerated Wine Corks, 48 x 24 mm

30BD12 is a 48 x 24 mm [CWINE]3 reduced agglomerated wine cork guarenteed TCA free below quantifiable levels (TCA <0.3 ng/L). [CWINE]3 agglomerated corks are ideal for medium to long periods of bottled wine maturation, protecting wine aroma and minimizing oxygen exposure. [CWINE]3 corks have a consistent oxygen transfer rate of 1.9 µl O2 per day and offer a dimensional return mimicking natural cork so your consumer can easily reinsert the cork into the bottle.

These corks are certified with a minimum cork content of 75% natural cork, using less glue than other agglomerated cork alternatives. The natural cork granules used in the agglomerated closure are between 0.5 and 2 mm. [CWINE]3 corks offer excellent sensory neutrality with the eradication of more than 150 negative aromatic compounds.

Our 48 x 24 mm corks are #9 and compatible with most traditional 750 ml bottles. [CWINE]3 corks are the solution for wineries who require consistency, control and confidence in cork performance. The recommended storage time and use of natural cork stoppers is 6 months from the manufacturing date.

Why agglomerated cork?
Agglomerated corks are high quality composite corks made from natural cork granules resulting from the production of natural cork stoppers and a synthetic glue. With a primary component natural cork, agglomerated closures share many of the same characteristics of natural cork stoppers at a much more cost effective price.

Agglomerated corks are generally used for short periods of bottled wine maturation making them highly suitable for lower priced and high turnover wines on the market. As these corks are a result of the agglomeration of an agglutinating substances and cork granules, agglomerated corks feature a uniform appearance that is homogeneous within a batch for a consistent closure.
