Vegan Wine

Though made entirely the same way as all wines, vegan wines are wines in which during the winemaking step of "fining" that is needed to filter the wine, no animal-based products are used. The most common fining agents used by the wine industry are egg whites and milk protein. Vegan wines instead use alternatives such as clay or plant-based fining agents.

Vineyard Info

The story of the Gabriel Meffre Winery began in 1936, when Gabriel and his wife, both passionate about wine, created their ‘Négociant-Vinificateur’ business in Gigondas. More than 80 years later, the family business has built on its strong foundations and has established its reputation as a leading Winery in the southern Rhone Valley.

FAT BASTARD, an international succes.. After a decade of world travel, Thierry Boudinaud returned to France in 1998 as head winemaker at Gabriel Meffre. He was working with his friend Guy Anderson, attempting to craft a unique wines from Southern France. After tasting hundreds of barrel samples, one fine day, upon tasting a wine from a Chardonnay barrel that was left on lees, Thierry knew that they had finally found something special and he proclaimed that it was a real “fat bastard" ...and a legend was born. Proud of our french roots, we often imagine this cute hippo decorating the royal gardens of Marie-Antoinette and even becoming the French national emblem!

The grapes for the FAT bastard Rosé are sourced from select vineyards in the Languedoc-Roussillon, spanning the banks of the Rhône in the east, Carcassonne in the west, the foothills of the Massif Central in the north, all the way to the Mediterranean coast in the south. FAT bastard Rosé is a blend of Grenache and Cinsault. These grapes were carefully selected to attain a fruit-forward, full-bodied blend that is fresh and lively.
