Cork Passion

Our Passion Is Born From Nature

We want the best corks for the best wines. We are committed to the continuous improvement of our products and services and, therefore, all our products are subjected to a rigorous process of control

OUR PRODUCTS

We have a wide range of cork stoppers, from 100% natural cork stoppers and clogged natural cork stoppers, to agglomerated, micro-agglomerated, 1+1 technical stoppers and stoppers for sparkling wine, all of which undergo the strictest quality control to provide clean batches that ensure the preservation and correct aging of the bottled wine, free from any contaminants.

Our values

At Corktansa, we are committed to creating superior quality cork closures while maintaining a strong focus on our core values. These values guide all our activities and reflect our mission to be a benchmark in the cork closure industry.

Nature

We believe that the cork stopper is the only closure for the wine industry that is, at the same time, a product of 100% natural origin, recyclable,biodegradable and whose industry is primarily responsible, directly and indirectly, for the preservation and maintenance of the indigenous forest and the native fauna and flora of the peninsular montados.

Tradition

Cork harvesting preserves not only the native species that depend on the cork oak forest, but also an entire local economy,occupations and traditions that would otherwise be in danger of disappearing. Whether in the center and south of Portugal and Spain, where the cork harvesters persist, or in the north of Portugal, where most of the world's cork industry is concentrated, where the professions of harvesters, brokers, pickers, among many others, are still alive, the exploitation of cork for the manufacture of cork stoppers continues to maintain an entire industrial sector to which thousands of workers are dedicated.

Future

We defend cork harvesting, which not only doesn't require the cork oak (the tree that produces it) to be felled, but also allows the tree to live healthier and for longer.At the same time as making economic use of this natural resource, cork harvesting cleanses the tree, ridding it of parasites and stimulating its renewal. The production of cork stoppers leaves a minimal footprint on the environment compared to other alternatives. It doesn't require mining, it doesn't use plastic and it doesn't lead to deforestation to plant crops used in the extraction of plant-based polymers used in the manufacture of alternative closures. By using cork stoppers, you are helping to maintain the native forests of the southern Iberian Peninsula and the Mediterranean.

Quality assurance

In addition to our cork stopper control process by sniffing, Corktansa combines the innovative "Cork Stoppers Airflow System" disinfection process with cork stopper disinfection processes,using a system of vaporization and constant ventilation, which allows the volatilization and release of TCA and other compounds responsible for wine off-flavours, drastically reducing the incidence of these compounds while protecting and maintaining the elasticity and organic structure of the cork stopper. We are certified to SYSTECODE EXCELLENCE standards, which guarantees compliance with the most demanding quality processes and standards.
