fermented into a concentration

Shiraz is passed over the vine dried to create the DOUBLE PASS. Supple and smooth, fjnishing with lingering fmavours. ASSEMBLAGE Assembled in the cellars from four components harvested from

is a juicy style with persistent

complexed by exotic spice and fjnish with warm richness of mouthfeel. FIELD WHITE Wine made by an ancient practice of co-harvesting and blending grapes in the fjeld, then co-fermented from intuitively selected grapes grown in the estate on low yielding, older vines of old school varieties. Each vintage, the proportion changes to optimise the characters to highlight one day in the vineyard. Tie contrast of co-fermenting, allows the fruit’s fmavours to develop in synergy for a naturally harmonious wine. 25

Our main focus is on high quality wine production without the use of animal based fjning agents.
What are Vegan wines?
No fjsh, milk, egg or animal-derived products are used in the making of the wine.
What do Byrne Vineyards do?
Hyper oxidative handling of white grape pressings breaks down the phenolics chain, which is softer on the palate than animal based fjning agents. PVPP is used in free run juice which is a non-animal product for enhancing colour and avoids the need for animal based fjning agents. For red wines, a potato based fjning agent is sometimes used for removing unwanted astringency.
How do I know which wines are Vegan friendly?
Vegan wine’s growing popularity raises questions about how wine is processed.
Many typical fjning agents are from animal products. Fining agents are processing aids, which are mostly used to fjlter or ‘fjne’ the wine. For example:
Gelatjn from animal material Albumin from egg whites Casein milk protein Isinglass from fjsh
Tiis symbol appears on the back labels, indicating vegan and vegetarian friendly wines.
