Although we do not use isinglass, our wines are not vegan, due to the
fining agents that we do use. Fining agents are used on a lot-by-lot basis
by the winemaker to optimize wine quality. Some fining agents contain
proteinaceous materials. Proteinaceous fining agents are used to react
with color and/or tannin molecules to make them removable by subsequent
filtration. Both the fining agent, the color and/or tannin it reacts with
are removed by the filtration process.
All of our fining agents are approved by the Alcohol & Tobacco Tax & Trade
Bureau (TTB, formerly the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms)
One of our standard fining agents contains Micronized potassium caseinate
[casein is milk protein], food grade gelatin, egg albumin and other food
grade components.
