The world's most advanced and greenest micro-granulated cork stopper
Composed of uniform natural cork micro-granules, Xpür® offers excellent structural stability and consistent mechanical performance, without the use of microspheres.
At its core is Amorim’s proprietary supercritical CO₂ extraction technology, the most advanced and eco-efficient anti-TCA system for micro-granulated cork stoppers. This process removes TCA and other volatile compounds while preserving the cork’s natural properties, resulting in non-detectable TCA levels and a clean, neutral sensory profile.
Xpür® also ensures controlled oxygen ingress, supporting consistent wine evolution and freshness. Its low density reduces stress on bottling equipment, enhancing efficiency and extending machine lifespan, making it ideal for high-speed bottling lines.
Natural, precise and environmentally responsible, Xpür® sets a new standard for technical cork stoppers, offering total protection for the wine's flavour.
Cork Properties
- 38 x 24 / 25 mm
- 44 x 24 / 25 mm
- 49 x 24 / 25 mm
- Amorim can calculate the required cork diameter by studying the internal profile of the bottleneck, the characteristics of the wine and the corking conditions.
- Order your cork stoppers for immediate use. These cork stoppers should be used within six months of the date of manufacture if the storage conditions are respected.
- Store the cork stoppers in their original packages, in a well-ventilated room with controlled temperature between 15oC and 25oC and 50% to 70% humidity.
- Do not leave boxes and/or bags open with surplus cork stoppers.
- Ensure any dust its removed before corking.
- Ensure the cork is compressed smoothly, to a diameter no less than 15,5 mm.
- Ensure insertion of the cork is a quick as possible.
- For standard bottlenecks, the cork should be inserted to 1 mm below the top of the neck.
- Minimise moisture on the inside of the bottleneck.
- Headspace should be at least 15 mm at 20oC.
- Don’t leave the cork stoppers in the feeder as to avoid dust.
- Always use stoppers with a surface treatment suitable for the type of beverage, bottling process and selected bottle.
- A vacuum must be created in order to prevent internal pressures.
- Maintain the corker jaws free of nicks and signs of wear.
- Ensure proper alignment of plunger and location ring.
- Ensure corking machine operates smoothly, especially during compression.
- Clean all cork-handling surfaces regularly with chlorine-free products.
- Ensure the equipment is suited to the cork and bottle used.
- After bottling., the bottles should be kept in an upright position for at least 10 minutes.
- Ideal bottle storage conditions are 12o-18oC at 50-70% humidity.
- Keep the wine cellar free of insects.
- Bottles should be transported in an upright position.
- The product must not be stored in a location exposed to sunlight, heated environment and in direct contact with the ground.
