Description
Follow the fascinating journey of cork, from the ancient cork oak forests to the creation of cork stoppers.
Start your adventure in the cork oak forests, which are mainly found in the Western Mediterranean basin, occupying more than 2.1 million hectares. These forests not only provide raw materials, they also offer essential services such as carbon sequestration, biodiversity conservation and soil protection.
Witness the meticulous cork harvesting process, which begins when the tree is around 25 years old. Every 9 years, specialised workers carefully remove the bark, ensuring that the tree remains intact. This sustainable practice allows the tree to regenerate its bark, making cork a truly renewable resource.
Discover how the harvested cork is transformed into various products, including cork stoppers. A production process in continuous innovation, which adds value to the wine as it evolves in the bottle. By recycling cork stoppers, it is possible to extend their life cycle, with applicability in new sectors such as construction or the aeronautical industry, making this product unique.
Come and deepen your knowledge of cork and understand how this remarkable natural resource is continually transformed, contributing to the environment and the preservation of the best wines.
