Vegan & Vegetarian Wine, Port & Fortified Wine
For wine lovers who follow a vegan lifestyle, the search for ethical and cruelty-free options can extend to all aspects of their culinary experiences, including the world of fortified wines. Luckily, there's a delightful solution for those craving a luxurious and indulgent experience without compromising their values.
Vegan port wine shares all the hallmarks of traditional port but is produced without the use of any animal-derived products. Many winemaking processes involve fining agents or additives such as gelatin, casein, or egg whites, which are used to clarify and stabilise the wine. However, vegan port wine producers employ alternative methods to achieve the desired clarity and stability, utilising plant-based fining agents like bentonite clay or vegetable proteins. This ensures that no animal by-products are used throughout the production process, making it a suitable choice for vegans and those who prefer cruelty-free products.
The flavours and aromas of vegan fortified wine are a testament to the artistry and expertise of the winemakers. Depending on the style, you can expect to encounter a wide range of tasting notes, including rich plum, blackberry, cherry, dark chocolate, nutty undertones, and sometimes even hints of spices like cinnamon and cloves. Vegan fortified wines are available in various styles, including Ruby Port, Tawny Port, Late Bottled Vintage (LBV) Port, and Vintage Port, each offering a unique experience.
