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.

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.
