Avalon Winery produces wines that are part of the Purple Wine Company portfolio of brands.

Purple Wine Company marketing executive vice president Lisa Ehrlich said that the company works to cut down its carbon footprint in the winery, in the vineyard and in the community.

"Our next step was to implement sustainable solutions and practices into our packaging. Nomacorc’s Select Bio closure is a perfect choice for our California CAB as it combines quality performance and environmental benefits," Ehrlich added.

With the capability to control oxygen transmission through the cork, the Select Series helps to prevent oxygen-related wine faults, such as oxidation and reduction.
