TCA Cork Taint Removal
Untainted wine for good:
Since 2004, we have provided winemakers around the world with a unique single-pass treatment process to remove the ‘musty, moldy’ aroma of TCA (2,4,6, Trichloroanisole) and TBA (2,4,6, Tribomoanisole).
The wine passes through a system of filter media canisters that targets TCA/TBA and all related anisoles. Once again, this is a gentle, 'once-through' filtration, and wine quality is untouched. Anything from one barrel to large volumes can be processed.
