Cork Taint
Cork Taint – Although research varies, it is estimated that 5 per cent of all wines sealed with a natural cork enclosure displays a musty taint. The undesirable aromas is caused by a number of organic compounds. However, the most significant is 2,4,6-trichloroanisole or TCA. These taint compounds are metabolic products of fungi which are naturally found in cork. Some of the products may have grown in the cork at various processing stages.
