The Acquamark cork line is a high quality colmated cork. These corks have the ageable lifespan of Natural Cork, but are closer to the price of an agglomerated or overrun cork.
Colmated corks are Natural Corks that were not quite flawless enough to make a grade, but are then filled in with agglomerated pieces, resulting in an ageable, but economical cork.

Superior cork quality for those needing a little extra confidence for longer ageing!
A standard length and diameter single punch cork in a high quality grading at a reasonable price. Corks are typically graded on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the best score, based on the degree of porousness that the actual punch of cork exhibits. Cork trees that show a higher population of worms or fungi tend to yield cork crops which are more porous. As a result, this bag of corks is of generally higher quality and has less variation between the highest and lowest quality cork in the package.
These corks are harvested and punched in Portugal, like the majority of the rest of the corks available today. They are processed, sorted, prepped and packaged here in Northern California.

Cork trees that show a higher population of worms or fungi tend to yield cork crops which are more porous. The Grade 3 corks show less than average porousness and are on par with the quality of cork used in many commercial facilities. Grade 1 & 2 corks are almost completely solid and sell at very high prices.

The entry level natural cork. This is the lowest grade natural cork we recommend. Corks are typically graded on a scale of 1-10, 1 being the best, based on the degree of porousness that the actual punch of cork exhibits.The Grade 4 corks show average porousness and is a little below the quality of cork used in many commercial facilities. They will normally seal perfectly, however if you are looking for a cork for extended aging of 5-7+ years, consider a grade 3.
An agglomerated cork that offers a great seal using compressed pieces of small cork. Fantastic value. Because they do not compress as easy as natural corks, you will need a floor corker, as opposed to a handcorker, to push these into the bottles.
A synthetic cork with the ability to last 4 years plus. Supercorks are manufactured in Italy by Enolandia. One of the very first companies to make a synthetic cork, they have a history of quality since the 1980's.

These can also be cut down if necessary to dose a smaller batch of wine.
