While it's important to note that truly sulphite-free wines don't exist - since sulphites are naturally produced during fermentation - these wines contain only trace, naturally occurring levels and no added sulphites. They come from organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention vineyards focused on healthy grapes and honest winemaking.
Here you will find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions for this category.
What are sulphites in wine?
Sulphites (or sulfites) are naturally occurring compounds used in winemaking to preserve freshness and prevent spoilage. While most wines contain some sulphites, especially for stability, some producers keep them to a minimum or avoid adding them altogether.
Is there such a thing as sulphite-free wine?
Yes! While no wine is 100% free of sulphites (grapes naturally produce small amounts), some wines are made without any added sulphites. These are often labeled as “sulphite-free wine” or “no added sulphites” and tend to be natural or low-intervention wines.
What is the difference between low sulphite wine and sulphite-free wine?
Low sulphite wines contain reduced levels of added sulphites, while sulphite-free wines have none added at all. Both are gentler on the body and often made with minimal intervention and more natural processes.
Why should I choose wine without sulphites?
Some people are sensitive to sulphites and experience headaches or allergic reactions. Others simply prefer wine without sulphites for its more natural character and the winemaker’s hands-off approach.
