Low Sulphite Wine
Here we are lisitng some genuine artisan wines made properly with minimal use of additives, which don't fall within our categories of "organic, biodynamic or sulphite free". They are handmade on a very small scale by small family wineries combining traditional techniques with modern advancements.
Many of them farm organically or biodynamically although don't believe in having to pay annual fees to be certified as such. They don't see any reason why they should be charged extra for making wines as they've always been made.
These wines are very low in sulphites and any of the other 80+ chemicals commonly found in big brand factory produced wines. Many are fermented with the grapes' own natural yeast, and many have only a light filtering, some have none at all so all the goodness and natural anti oxidants are left in the wine.
They are a very healthy lifestyle choice, and of course when buying these wines you will also be helping small dedicated winemakers, as without customers they would not be able to continue making these fantastic wines..

Maquis Franco96 points Tim Atkin
95 Points Best Cabernet Franc from Chile Descorchados 2017
93 Points Robert Parker
94 Points James Suckling
Maquis is uniquely situated at the convergence of two rivers on clay, alluvial soils making it potentially the best site in Chile for Cabernet Frank which inspired them to make this stunning wine.
It's big and silky with red and black fruits with a light spice, then big vanilla coming through on the long finish.
This is something special.

Joubert Tradauw Reserve Cabernet FrancJoubert-Tradauw Cabernet Franc Reserve 2016
Tim Atkin says:"This brilliant Cabernet Franc is one of the best in South Africa, produced in the slightly unlikely surroundings of Tradouw in the Klein Karoo. Wonderfully smooth, floral and refined, this handles its 50% new oak with style, showing graphite, black cherry and vanilla notes.
2020-26"This is Meyer's flagship wine and is absolutely beautiful! We have a very limited stock (2016).
