Company email (January 2026)
"Some of our wines have been clarified with fining agents such as egg albumin, casein, gelatin and isinglass.
"Small amounts of these fining agents may be used by the winemaker to fine-tune the structure of the wine.
"The winemakers decide on which fining agents are used and these may vary from product to product and vintage to vintage depending on the style of the wine."

"The vast majority of Matua sauvignon blancs will have skim milk powder or casein added."
Company email (April 2014): re: Matua
"I have been asked this before and unfortunately we cannot guarantee a vegan wine. We do use a combination of the products you mentioned below in our fining. It will vary vintage to vintage, wine to wine, but we do not always have this info to hand. Best to not consider us vegan."
