We say "Good Bye" to corky wines!
DIAM closures:
only the best is good enough for Bein Merlot
May 2007 saw us for the first time using the new DIAM-cork for all our bottles - perhaps a small step for mankind, but a giant leap for us!
This innovative stopper is a novel type of composite cork that does away with any sort of closure problems such as the villainous cork taint, leakage problems and other undesired wine bottle variations.
As traditionalist, this wasn’t an easy decision for us, but the outlook that in future, our Bein Merlot will be as good on your table as we bottled it in our cellar, convinced us quickly. Up to now, we never could completely avoid the occasional corky bottle and other cork-induced bottle variation, despite our utmost efforts in sourcing the very best cork material available. Even having the corks personally analysed in private laboratories prior to use, didn't help.
And the good thing is: The new stopper is still
made from natural cork, a wonderful, up to now unrivalled closure
material, though treated in a very elaborate and chemical-free
process in order to clean it from any traces of cork-taint and other
off-flavours.
