Longplay Wines is Vegan Friendly

Company email (March 2018)

"Longplay Wine / Lia's Vineyard rarely fines or filters wines. On those rare occasions when we have fined, we've used bentonite (clay), not animal products. Our wines are vegan friendly (to date, and I would expect the same going forward). Lia often helps to sort the fruit and primarily focuses on rescuing lady bugs. We typically use a shaker table which saves a lot of insects from winding up in the must. We work to limit the presence of fruit flies in the winery through the use of fans. In the vineyard we are very focused on maintaining a balance with the environment and work hard to preserve the beneficial insects that keep our vineyard healthy. We will trap yellow jackets when they become s problem, however, as they can damage a lot of fruit."
