Blackenbrook Vineyard

Daniel Schwarzenbach checks the 2011 vintage of their vegan wine

A noticeable surge in demand for vegan wine has been seen by retailers and restaurants in the past year with Blackenbrook Vineyard one of only a few wine producers able to offer all their white wines as vegan.

Owner and Winemaker Daniel Schwarzenbach says:

A lot of people don’t realise that animal products are often used to fine young wines. Here at Blackenbrook, we don’t add any finings because we don’t need to.

The aim at Blackenbrook is to bring the full flavour from the vineyard to the glass, as naturally as possible.  We do this through a combination of certified sustainable practices in the vineyard, and gentle winemaking in our gravity-fed winery.

Daniel Schwarzenbach urges people to read the labels to confirm if a wine is not fined with animal products and truly vegan.

Being vegan is kind of a beneficial by-product of our gentle systems. We simply wanted to keep our wines pure and not subject them to harsh fining agents – and the natural consequence of that is that all our white wines are 100% vegan.
