Natural Wine Corks for Professional Winemakers
Natural cork is the traditional and preferred cork of professional winemakers across the globe. Grade 2 Plus corks provide a premium whole natural cork at a spectacular price. These grade 2+ corks (rated from 0-10, 0 being best) are a great option for most bottlings, including longer term aging (5-10 years).
Sustainable Harvesting from Sardinia
Molinas Cork has been sustainably harvesting from the cork forests of Sardinia for over 100 years. The bark is aged an additional year prior to harvest, leading to less porous, higher quality cork. This leads to a less porous, higher quality cork, and has less impact on the forest.
Quality Control from Tree to Finished Cork
Throughout the entire process from tree to finished cork, quality control is strictly monitored. Tolerances on normal dimensions, physical, mechanical, and sensory characteristics are carefully controlled to ensure the highest quality corks.
Finishing Treatments for Optimal Performance
Our corks undergo Genesis Steam Treatment to reduce cat and other volatile substances. We also offer washing with H2O2 solution in white or diluted with peracetic acid for natural color. Drying is done with hot air forced to eliminate peroxide residues. Thermal or ink marking is available on specific request.
