The US company with headquarters in Napa Valley was founded in 2007 by Tim Keller (former winemaker). During his MBA studies at the University of California in Davis, he developed a special screw cap that enables a targeted supply of oxygen during bottle storage or bottle ageing. It is assumed that a continuous supply of oxygen has a positive effect on aroma substances and colour, especially in red wines, which was confirmed by experiments at the AWRI (Australian Wine Research Institute). The cap contains microscopic holes through which oxygen (air) can pass. Inside the aluminium closure is a special seal with several layers of plastic (polyethylene and polyester). This density allows oxygen to pass through the cap into the bottle at a very low, constant OTR (Oxygen Transfer Rate) (nanooxigenation).
