Awards
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.

LANGUEDOC ROUSSILLON : The grapes for our FAT bastard Chardonnay 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. The winemakers work very closely with the growers to determine the start of each harvest. The goal is to seek aromatic ripeness and rich varietal character.
