Barbadillo confirms on its website and on the Barnivore database that the Solear Manzanilla, Oloroso and the other non-fino styles are produced without animal-derived fining agents. The flor-protected biologically-aged wines (manzanilla and fino) self-clarify through the yeast veil process and do not require fining. Barbadillo is the largest Sanlucar producer and documents its vegan-friendly production across the range.
Tip: The Solear Manzanilla and Oloroso Seco are widely available vegan-confirmed Barbadillo expressions.
