CLOSURES: PART 3 – MOVING BACK TO CORK
CLOSURES: PART 3 – MOVING BACK TO CORK
Sep 12, 2012 6
(TheDrinksBusiness) - In contrast to yesterday’s views from Domaine Laroche, today we hear from a winemaker who has ditched screwcap in favour of cork after problems with the former closure.
Despite sealing its other nine labels from Rusden Wines in the Barossa under cork, Christian Canute, winemaker and director at the family-run business, decided in 2005 to close its Driftsand Grenache and Shiraz blend with screwcap.
However, after four years of using screwcaps, he changed his mind, and hence the Driftsand 2010 vintage, which is due for release in October this year, will be closed with natural cork.
