"All of our wines would be suitable for vegetarians, unfortunately not vegans.
"In white wines we do use skim milk and on occasion egg. We also use gelatine as a fining agent in white wines. The use of gelatine is less frequent and I cannot provide absolute details of which wines are fined with this. I can confirm with you that as is common place in the industry most of our red wines in most vintages have received a light fining of egg white to remove excess aggressive tannins and astringency. Occasionally we also use skim milk powder as a fining agent.
"Isinglass and gelatine are not used by us as red wine fining agents. I can also confirm that no animals are used in creation and no animals are tested upon during the creation of any of our wines. The nut flavours on the palate is a characteristic of the fermentation and the barrel maturation, and not directly related to any particular nut. We do not add any nuts to our wine making process."
