Company email (November 2018)

"Unfortunately the person who answered your [October 2017] email gave you a general answer that is not correct overall.

"Some of our wines are Vegan friendly and some not.

"Our withes and rose wines are Vegan friendly because they are clarified with Bentonite, which is a natural absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate clay. Not animal product are used in the elaboration of these wines.

"Regarding our red wines, we are in the process to find some clarifying agent with the same results as the animal gelatin. As soon as we find it we will substitute the gelatin for it, and you will be informed.

"In the meantime I send you the list of all our products with the relevant information [list included, used for the list. -ed]"

Company email (October 2017)

"Respondiendo a tu pregunta, comentarte que en el proceso de elaboración de nuestros vinos hacemos uso de clarificantes de origen animal. Aunque finalmente en el vino embotellado no quedan restos, pues el clarificante se desecha, si que intervienen en el proceso de producción."

[Google translation: "Responding to your question, to tell you that in the process of making our wines we make use of clarifiers of animal origin. Although finally in the bottled wine there are no remains, because the clarifier is discarded, if they intervene in the production process."]
