LEGACY
Legacy is the result of several Cork Supply innovations, including the new and patented X100 technology.
This patented and certified technology allows for individual analyses of 100% of the natural closures of a batch so as to eliminate abnormal cases of oxygen ingress that cannot be detected and eliminated by other existing physical methods. The X100 analyzes the internal structure of natural closures and detects the anomalous cases that can allow for the ingress of 10 times more oxygen than other closures, “characteristics” that are not visible to the naked eye on the outside of the closure.
This new X100 technology is applied to the natural cork closure after being subjected to the TCA (molecule responsible for the “musty” aroma) detection technologies DS100 and DS100+, also developed by Cork Supply in the last decade.
The result of this integrated process is Legacy, the most consistent natural closure on the market, individually classified, and with a bottle buy back guarantee.
DS 100 INSPECTION
The natural corks are carefully selected and the DS100 service gives these corks the maximum guarantee of sensory neutrality. Every DS100 cork is screened by our panel of trained sensory specialists to ensure that the corks are free of TCA* and any other off aroma, making these corks truly unique in the market.
DS100 consists of a non-destructive and non-invasive analysis that is carried out by a panel of trained sensory specialists. The panel analyze 100% of the corks in a lot and reject any cork with a sensory deviation due to TCA or other off-aromas.
After the corks have been in a controlled environment for 24 hours, the corks are analyzed sequentially by three different trained sensory specialists. Should one of the panelists detect TCA or another off-aroma in any single cork, the cork is rejected and removed from the lot.

DS 100+ INSPECTION
The DS100+ natural cork is individually inspected and guaranteed to be TCA taint-free*, making it another premium option for some of the most prestigious wines in the world. While the DS100 service is total sensory guarantee and eliminates corks with any off-aroma, the DS100+ technology eliminates natural corks that have TCA levels above 1ng/L.
With the success of DS100, we challenged ourselves to develop a technology that could automatically detect TCA in natural corks. A technology that could increase production capacity for individually guaranteed TCA taint-free* natural corks, while maintaining the non-destructive and non-invasive principles developed in our DS100 service.
The DS100+ technology guarantees that each individual cork in a lot is 100% TCA taint-free* by rejecting any natural cork that has TCA levels above the sensory threshold.
The DS100+ technology guarantees an efficient screening of 100% of corks in a lot, while resulting in a competitively priced natural cork for the market.
