Emilio Lustau documents that its oloroso, amontillado and palo cortado sherries use no animal-derived fining agents. The oxidatively-aged styles (oloroso and above) do not require gelatin, isinglass or egg white fining that is sometimes used in young table wines. The Lustau website confirms vegan-friendly production for the majority of its range.
Tip: The Lustau Almacenista range (single-bodega sherries) is explicitly documented as vegan-friendly on the producer website.
Luis Perez is a viticulture researcher and practitioner who farms CAAE-certified organic across all vineyards and applies biodynamic practices on specific albariza parcels.
Tip: Luis Perez's research collaboration with the University of Cadiz on Palomino clonal selection in albariza soils is the most scientifically rigorous biodynamic viticulture work in the Sherry Triangle.

Forlong documents minimal to no sulfite additions in its unfortified Palomino range from the Pago del Humo organic vineyard. The CAAE-certified organic status also restricts sulfite use.
Tip: Forlong's unfortified whites are a low-sulfite expression of Palomino Fino from the Triangle.
Rocio Ros and Alberto Orte farm the Pago del Humo albariza vineyard in El Puerto de Santa Maria using organic and biodynamic practices. CAAE organic certification is verified; biodynamic practices are confirmed on the producer's website but Demeter certification has not been confirmed as of this research. Unfortified Palomino whites and traditional fortified sherries.
Tip: The Forlong organic and biodynamic wines are almost exclusively exported to natural wine bars in northern Europe and Japan; seek them through importer Savio Soares Selections.
