Vegan Friendly
Vegan-friendly organic wine combines two conscious choices: respect for the environment and plant-based living. Organic wines are made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides or herbicides, focusing on soil health and natural vineyard practices. To be vegan-friendly, these wines avoid traditional animal-derived fining agents such as egg whites, casein (milk protein), or isinglass (fish bladders). Instead, winemakers use plant-based or mineral alternatives, like bentonite clay or pea protein, to clarify the wine.
In the glass, vegan organic wines retain all the character and style of conventional wines—whether crisp whites, bold reds, or elegant sparklings—but with the reassurance of being both eco-conscious and animal-free. Expect pure fruit expression and a clean, natural taste.
For UK drinkers, vegan-friendly organic wines are an excellent choice for plant-based dining. They pair beautifully with Mediterranean vegetables, curries, bean dishes, roasted root veg, salads, and dairy-free cheeses, making them perfect for modern, mindful lifestyles.

NECTAR FROM A DIFFERENT HECTARE
As if we didn’t know well enough how tiny our vineyard is, the wine this time comes from another family owned estate; of 250 hectares! Perez Cruz Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 is an absolute belter.
This unique eco-friendly winery is found in the Maipo Andes in Chile and, as much as we are seen as rosé specialists, so they are considered red experts. This region, at around 500m above sea level, is considered to be one of the most sought after areas to grow Cabernet Sauvignon. As ours are, their vines are trained on a double guyot system and have a long ripening season eventually being harvested by hand. The big difference is that, in the middle bit, they get plenty of sunshine!
A bit of an ‘under the radar’ wine, this has intense ripe red fruits with sweet vanilla (it spends a year in oak), black pepper, wild herbs and figs. The palate is creamy and concentrated with enough grip for food but the balanced acidity and soft tannins are also perfect for a liquid supper watching a movie in front of the fire. Perfect wine for roast dinner. It’s vegan friendly too….
