Sibel, an OLLER Group company, has been recognized for decades for its expertise and responsiveness in the whole range of corks for sparkling and still wines, and is the only corkmaker to hold the EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label. They have always remained faithful to traditional cork, a noble material in which they invest every day to guarantee the high neutrality and homogeneity of all their corks.
Their know-how:
- Purchase of cork from the forests of southern Spain, after selection of the best planks.
- Manufacturing process
- - Washing of discs combining water and steam to extract compounds such as tannins, terpenes and organochlorines.
- - Desorption chamber reduces haloanisoles and other organoleptic deviations by 90%.
- - High-performance agglomerated sleeves thanks to the use of 4 types of granules of different sizes and an exclusive process.
Results: Better gas-tightness, favoring optimal wine preservation.
- Sniffing (optional, by quotation): a method that involves smelling each cork according to the sensory profile desired by our customer.
Customization of your corks: on request
Two ranges of sparkling wine corks are available:
* MT range
MS range
The only difference is that in the MS range there is less lenticel on the roll (side of the cork) and on the mirror washer (contact with the wine).
Lenticels are a type of pore found on cork at the surface of the tree. They act as intermediaries for gaseous exchanges between the tree's internal tissues and the atmosphere.

Use:
Use corks within 6 months of delivery, under controlled storage conditions. Bring corks to a temperature of 20°C before use. Do not soak the corks.
On the corking line, do not use any equipment likely to weaken the corks.
Target setting for corking depth: 22 to 26 mm and jaw tightening: 15.5 to 15.7 mm.
After corking, allow a minimum of 3 minutes before laying the bottle down (cork expansion).
After corking, it is preferable to store and transport bottles in an upright position.
