Xpür: TCA Truly a Thing of the Past
Amorim has brought supercritical fluid technology well into the 21st century. Xpür gives a robust, deeper cleansing of cork's cellular structure, removing volatile substances that could trigger sensory deviations while keeping cork's natural character intact. Xpür corks and Qork get this treatment.
Why Neutrocork
- 80% natural cork, made by Amorim
- Retains enough CO2 to offset making the bottle it goes into
- About half the extraction force of a synthetic
- Flavor neutral
- Seen by customers as a real cork, not a synthetic
- Closure-grade cork, screened and treated like traditional corks
- Less oxygen entry over time than a screw cap with a plastic liner
- Rebounds better than similar "Brand Z" products, for fewer leaks
- Much lower sulfur loss than synthetics
- Reinsertable
Micro-agglomerate closures are the result of exhaustive research at Amorim into bonding cork particles of 1 to 2 mm with an extensively researched, food-grade binder. A Neutrocork is mechanically, environmentally and philosophically far superior to a synthetic. Need proof on oxygen? Ask us for a copy of the oxygen transfer rate study.
