WHY THE SCREW CAP?

posted on 4 June 2024

ORGANIC WINE AT CANTRINA

Right from the very start of our efforts as Winegrowers, we have firmly committed ourselves to producing high quality wine, and always with profound respect for the local terroir and overall environment in which we work.

WHY THE SCREW CAP?

 
  • Drastic reduction of sulphite use at bottling, better for the wine and for consumers’ health
  • The wine holds up better and retains its freshness.
  • Much easier to use "un-screw/ re-screw" feature that re-inserting traditional corks.
  • Low environmental impact and re-cyclable, versus cork forests, which have been devastated in recent years by unresponsible bark-stripping.
  • No more bad-smelling “corked wine” wine from those defective corks

After two years of working closely with Sussex Wine Merchants, I finally flew to New York to personally meet their team. I found them very accommodating and ultra-efficient, and they planned and helped me with every stop on my itinerary.

Spring is pressing on “full speed ahead”

Spring is pressing on “full speed ahead”, and the vineyard is rushing right along with it… The vines budded out quite vigorously this year, and helped by the warm temperatures of recent weeks, vine growth is running some two weeks ahead of norm.

If any of you visited us recently, you will have noticed on entering that a good part of the small vineyard growing at the entrance and covering the cellar was grubbed up. Was it because of the wrong rootstock, or maybe too many passes with the tractor compacted the soil, or the wrong grape variety for the soil, poor-quality vines, or…? As a matter of fact, a good part of the vines were in bad condition and even dead, so much so that we had to take them out.
