Amorim Announces Enhancements to Eliminate TCA
The world’s largest cork producer announced a major enhancement to its production process that it claims has reduced the amount of TCA and other sensory contaminants to levels below accepted sensory thresholds.
Following the enhancements of its production processes in Portugal, Amorim plans to deliver 350 million corks by the end of the year that it can guarantee are free of TCA or other impurities that could compromise a wine. The new system would complement Amorim’s existing NDTech process that is reserved for the company’s highest quality corks that undergo automated, individual sensory testing by machine.
