3 Things To Know About Buying Preservative Free Wine

1. Certification is Your Guarantee of Purity When searching for sulfite free wines, it is essential to distinguish between wines that are naturally low in sulphur and those that are certified preservative-free. Our collection focuses on wines where no sulphur dioxide (SO2) has been added at any stage of the winemaking process. By choosing certified organic and preservative-free options, you ensure the wine is free from synthetic chemicals, offering the cleanest possible expression of the vineyard.

2. Freshness is the Key to Flavour Preservative-free wines are crafted to be enjoyed in their youth when the fruit profile is at its most vibrant. Unlike conventional wines designed for decade-long cellaring, these wines offer an immediate and "alive" tasting experience. For the best results, we recommend purchasing from our frequently updated stock to ensure you are receiving the most recent vintages, such as the 2024 Paxton NOW Shiraz, which are currently at their peak for flavour and aroma.

3. Proper Handling Enhances the Experience Because these wines do not rely on chemical stabilisers, they are more sensitive to temperature and oxygen. To protect your investment, store your bottles in a cool, dark place and, once opened, keep them refrigerated to maintain their integrity. This minimal intervention approach means you are drinking a wine that hasn't been "stripped" by heavy filtration or stabilisers, resulting in a more textured and authentic mouthfeel that conventional wines often lack.

Your Questions Answered

Is preservative-free wine the same as organic wine? Not necessarily, but they are close cousins! Our collection focuses on organic preservative free wine, which means the grapes are grown without synthetic pesticides and there are no added preservatives. Look for bottles that are certified both Organic and Preservative-Free for the cleanest possible drop.

Does preservative-free wine taste different? It tastes like pure, vibrant wine. Some people describe it as more "alive" or "energetic" than conventional wines. If you're used to heavily-processed wines, the purity might be a new experience, but it’s one that most people grow to love.

What is the best way to store sulfite free wines after opening? Because sulfite-free wines lack the artificial stabilisers found in conventional bottles, they are more delicate once exposed to oxygen. To maintain their vibrant flavour profile, we recommend resealing the bottle immediately after pouring and storing it upright in the refrigerator—this applies to red wines as well. For the best tasting experience, aim to enjoy the remaining wine within 24 to 48 hours. If you wish to extend this window, using a vacuum pump or an argon gas preservation system can help protect the wine’s integrity for an additional day or two.

Can I find a variety of styles within your sulfite free wines collection? Absolutely. The diversity of sulfite free wines has expanded significantly, moving far beyond simple table wines. Our curated selection includes everything from vibrant, fruit-forward Argentinian Bonarda and classic South Australian Shiraz to sophisticated, method-traditional sparkling wines like Cava. Whether you prefer a crisp white or a bold, earthy red, our collection demonstrates that removing preservatives does not mean compromising on the complexity or variety of your cellar.

Can I find high-quality white wine without sulphites? Yes, the selection of premium white wine without sulphites has grown significantly as winemakers refine minimal-intervention techniques. Traditionally, sulphur was used to prevent oxidation and browning in delicate whites. However, by using exceptionally clean, organic grapes and temperature-controlled fermentation, producers now create vibrant Chardonnays, Rieslings, and Pinot Grigios that maintain their crisp acidity and floral aromatics without any added preservatives. At FAB, we focus on sourcing white wines that offer a pure expression of the fruit, ensuring you do not have to compromise on quality to enjoy a sulfite-free drop
