DIAM 10 and 30 Offering New Permeability Cork Options for Winemakers
Provides Winemakers with More Choices for Their Wine Programs
MODESTO, Calif. (January 19, 2023) – Diam Bouchage, the leading manufacturer of technical cork closures for still wines, sparkling wines and spirits, has introduced new permeability options for its popular DIAM 10 and DIAM 30 corks designed to provide winemakers with more choices for their wine programs. The new closures can be viewed at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium in Sacramento, January 25-26, at the Diam booth, #538.
“Oxygen management is critical for winemaking, so Diam offers a wide range of products with different oxygen ingress rates (OIR) and oxygen transfer rates (OTR) for our Diam 2, 3, 5 and Origine by Diam corks. However, winemakers have been asking for a cork option with higher OTRs and this solution will provide them with a brand-new tool to consistently age wines after bottling,” said Dimitri Tixador, director of permeability at the Diam Bouchage’s R&D division. He added, “The new closures will also promote faster aromatic development of the wine during the initial years of aging, making it suitable for use on a range of different wines.”
With these new corks, winemakers will now be able to bottle the same wines, on the same day, with different DIAM corks depending on the objectives of aging and maturity characteristics of the wine.
DIAM’s focus has always been to provide the winemaker with both more control and consistent bottle aging. These new corks were developed to provide winemakers the choice to now opt for a very low or medium oxygen permeability depending on the specific requirements of a wine. The new DIAM 10 and 30 corks offer an alternative solution for long-maturation wines guaranteeing consistency from one closure to another. In addition, the patented DIAMANT® process ensures every cork is guaranteed to be free of releasable TCA (0.3 ng/l) and 150 molecules.
According to Mihailo Panovich, Vice President of Sales for G3 Enterprises, the distributor of Diam closures in North America, “Demand for our Origine line, DIAM 10 AND DIAM 30 closures among the premium wine category continues to grow, and we have increased capacity and production output at both our Modesto and Napa facilities, to support DIAM’s continued growth. This includes the addition of 2 new coaters and a new facility in Napa with laser printing capabilities. We are also adding sales, customer service and technical support personnel to bolster this growth with best-in-class service for the industry.”

Diam®, a tribute to the winegrower's art
Perfectly preserved aromas and flavours.
Although supercritical CO2 technology was already being used in some industrial applications (decaffeination, nicotine extraction from tobacco, etc.), it took 7 years of joint research with the CEA (French Atomic Energy Commission) before it could be applied to cork, thus giving rise to DIAMANT® technology, a proprietary cork taint removal process.
Thanks to DIAMANT® technology, the cork used in Diam® closures is free of flavour, void of TCA (the cork taint molecule) plus many other substances causing flavour modification. Stringent testing at every stage of
production means that Diam® is the only cork individually guaranteed free of releasable TCA (< than the measurable limit of
0.3 ng/l). The sensory purity and neutrality of Diam® closures protect all the wine's subtlest notes.
Total control over the way wine evolves.
Customised, tested permeability: Every wine has its own permeability requirements and nobody knows how much oxygen a wine needs better than the winemaker. The different versions of Diam® closures, give you total control over oxygen transfer and guarantees its constancy for the entire life of the wine in the bottle.
Consistency: The Diam® manufacturing process delivers perfectly consistent technical performance from one cork to the next. This provides smooth application at bottling, eliminates dust, suspended particles as well as leaking, seeping bottles and rising moisture.
