There's something about cork...
"The cork stopper is the only type of closure that ensures the future of my wines. When we talk about cavas, whose historical significance is an important factor, aging is essential and the wine will only be drunk in 100 years. The only reference with such historical significance is cork. Cork is tradition, tightness, and perfection."
— Javier Ausás, Technical Director and Winemaker at Bodegas Vega Sicilia
“We produce cava that has been aged for more than 150 years, and it is sealed with cork stoppers, of course. The benefits of using cork are undeniable. Cork undoubtedly performs the best. Its slow permeability promotes the aging and evolution of the cava.”
— Josep Buján, Technical Director at Freixenet
