The Traditional Choice of Professional Winemakers
Natural cork is the preferred traditional cork of professional winemakers across the globe. Our Grade 4 corks provide a solid whole natural cork at a spectacular price. With a rating of 0-10, these corks are fairly porous and are not recommended for extensive aging (less than 5 years). However, they offer a great balance between quality and price.
Sustainable Harvesting from Sardinia's Protected Forests
Molinas Cork has been sustainably harvesting corks from the protected forests of Sardinia for over 100 years. The 4th generation of the Molinas family continues this tradition, allowing the bark to mature an additional year before harvesting. This process leads to a less porous, higher quality cork, with less impact on the forest.
Quality Control from Tree to Finished Cork
Throughout the entire process, quality control is strictly monitored. From the moment the cork is harvested to the finished product, every step is carefully controlled to ensure the highest quality. Tolerances on normal dimensions, physical and mechanical characteristics, and sensory tests are all strictly monitored to guarantee excellence.
Finishing Treatments for Enhanced Quality
Our corks undergo a series of finishing treatments to enhance their quality. The Genesis Steam Treatment reduces cat and other volatile substances, while washing with an H2O2 solution and drying with hot air forced eliminate peroxide residues. Thermal or ink marking is available on request, and silicone lubricant and adhesives with food certification ensure food contact safety.
