Select 100 is a high-performance co-extruded cork closure, engineered with two-phased oxygen management control. The product is designed for use for fragile wines and is suitable for wines requiring extended aging, like full-bodied reds. According to the manufacturer, it provides oxygen ingress levels close to zero during the initial stages of wine development, then introduces a very low and consistent level of oxygen during later stages of maturation, when wines are most susceptible to reduction (which describes the presence of unpleasant sulfur compounds). This helps maximize aroma preservation and freshness while preventing the formation of undesirable sulfur off-notes, the company says.
