// STILL WINES

CORK STOPPER //

Three natural characteristics form the basis of its unmistakable role as a wine seal: its elasticity, its compressibility, and its impermeability.

No other material to date has allowed gas exchange between wine and the outside environment in a proportion that allows for better aging without the risk of oxidation. It is a product of excellence, perfect for bottling wine.

At Lafitte Cork Portugal, you will find a wide variety of sizes, visual qualities, and customizations in natural corks to meet all customer requirements. All natural corks undergo the MaxClean Evolution process.

— Use of cork stoppers up to six months after shipment;
— Cork is sensitive to temperature, humidity, and odors, so corks should be stored in places that are:
>clean, well-ventilated, and odor-free;
>where the temperature remains between 15°C and 25°C;
>where the relative humidity is between 50% and 65% (if it exceeds 65%, there is a risk of irreversible microbiological change).
— Use standard bottles;
— Periodicallycheck the corking machine jaws, which must be clean and free of scratches (which cause creases in the cork);
— The ambient temperature should be between 15ºC and 20ºC;
— Bottle under vacuum or with CO2;
— Respect the nominal filling level of the bottles;
— Clean the machines and wine pipes before and after bottling;
— Do not compress the cork below 2⁄3 of its diameter (this causes changes in structure, poor recovery, or leaks);
— The cork should be ± 0.5 mm from the neck of the bottle;
— Bottles should not be placed in a horizontal position immediately after bottling. They should remain in a vertical position for at least 3 minutes;
— Storage and transport of the product in accordance with regulatory standards.
