At Alta Alella, we have always been committed to balancing tradition, innovation, and sustainability, crafting organic wines that truly express the essence of our terroir. In line with this philosophy, we’ve made an important decision: from now on, our flagship range will gradually transition to cork stoppers (micro-agglomerated to ensure the complete absence of TCA) with a wax drop, replacing the screw caps we’ve used until now. This change will be implemented progressively to avoid wasting existing materials.

This decision is based on the following factors:

• Sustainability: Cork is a 100% natural material. Its production helps preserve cork oak forests and supports biodiversity, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.
• Consumer experience: Pulling a cork from a bottle is a ritual deeply rooted in winemaking tradition, creating a special moment. We want our customers to enjoy this experience and the meaning behind it.
• Wine evolution: A cork stopper allows controlled micro-oxygenation, leading to a more refined and harmonious aging process. We believe this enhances the overall experience and ensures our wines fully express their terroir.
• Premium positioning: This change not only elevates the perception of our wines but also makes them more accessible to high-end restaurants and establishments, where cork closures are often associated with quality and authenticity.

We’re confident that this step brings us even closer to our core values and the quality that has always defined us.
