Finding certified organic red wines without added sulphites is relatively straightforward. Identifying ones that are genuinely worth drinking is far more challenging.
FAB’s wine team sources from more than 100 wine-growing regions and applies a rigorous pre-selection process before any bottles are considered for purchase. Every wine in this collection was specifically requested, opened, and assessed. The majority did not meet the standard. The 11 that remain are included for one reason: they are excellent wines first, and certified organic second.
Price range: $21 to $58. Most land between $26 and $40.

Why FAB Only Stocks 11 Certified Organic Red Wines with No Added Sulphites
Preservative-free winemaking leaves nowhere to hide. Without SO2 as a buffer, quality problems surface immediately — bad viticulture, sloppy winemaking, weak fruit. Most of what the team tastes doesn't make it through. The range is small because it has to be.
Certification is the second filter. Every wine here carries a named certifying body on the bottle: NASAA, Ecocert, Demeter, or USDA. Murky claims don't get listed.
Three Certified No Sulphite Organic Red Wines from the FAB Range
Yangarra Estate Shiraz 2023 — McLaren Vale, South Australia | $33
Blewitt Springs is one of McLaren Vale's more unusual sites: ancient sandy soils, 54 million years old, with coastal air off the sea. Peter Fraser (Halliday's 2016 Winemaker of the Year, Wine Enthusiast Best Winemaker nominee 2018) has farmed it biodynamically since 2000.
The 2023 comes from six blocks. Fifty percent whole berries. Wild yeast in open vats. Thirteen months in French oak puncheons. No pressings, no sulphites at any stage.
Dense and layered: mulberry and mocha up front, then black olive, rosemary, and real mineral tension. Halliday 95 — "remarkably pretty upfront… built for food." The Real Review 93 — "luscious fruit and abundant soft, powdery tannins."
Good through 2032. Best with lamb or slow BBQ. Serve at 16–18°C.

Château Couronneau 'Le Fougueux' 2022 — Bordeaux, France | $39
Highest point in the Gironde, at 185 metres. Clay-limestone slopes. Brothers Christophe and Grégoire Piat farming organically since 1999, biodynamically since 2012.
'Le Fougueux' — the spirited one. A Merlot-led Bordeaux where fermentation starts wild via pied de cuve, and everything from pressing onwards runs under inert gas. It doesn't drink like most Bordeaux: fresh, vibrant, long — without any chemical help to stay that way.
If you usually drink French reds and haven't explored this category, start here.
Serve at 18–20°C with roast beef, steak frites, shepherd's pie, or baked camembert.

Chakana Sobrenatural Bonarda 2021 — Mendoza, Argentina | $26
Sobrenatural: no sulphites added. Not at harvest, not during fermentation, not at bottling.
Grown at 960 metres in Mendoza's Agrelo sub-region. Eighty-hectare certified estate, hand-harvested. Half through 30 days of carbonic maceration, half traditional — both with native yeasts only.
Vivid and fruit-forward: cherry, violet, lavender, wild herbs, bright acidity, just enough grip. James Suckling 90–91 across two consecutive vintages. At $26, the most accessible bottle in the range.
Serve at 14–16°C. Works well with brie and fig, goat cheese, or a simple pasta.
