TastedBlind and Nomacorc invite you at a blind tasting leaded by Andreas Larsson, Best Sommelier of the World 2007, everyday during Vinexpo, at the Booth CD339.
Andreas will present you the same wine but closed with different closures. We called this new kind of Tasting: "Taste the difference".
The program started a few years ago when Nomacorc reached out to wineries to ask them to run bottling trials. The idea was to take the same wine—bottled on the same date and under the same conditions—using three different wine closures, each with different <A HREF="http://www.nomacorc.com/enology/oxygen-management/" TARGET="_blank" TITLE="Oxygen Management" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">oxygen permeability</A>.
The goal of these experiments is not to prove that one closure tops another, but to underline the impact of the closure.
“The main message of the program is to demonstrate the difference in the glass,” said Andreas Larsson. “We can tell nice stories about our closures, but at the end of the day, for the consumer what really counts is in the glass.”
You don’t have to wait all that long, either. Typically, with white wines, after six months we can already see nice differences. The same goes for rosé wines. Red wines take a little longer, and differences tend to be more about texture than aromatics.
Even people who’ve never heard of oxygen transfer rate, or OTR, can tell there’s something going on with the wines.
In the tasting, wines are poured blind, and you will be asked first to name your preference and then to describe differences.
