About Our Drinks
We are committed to keep evolving as a restaurant and as a result we are always on the lookout for new and exciting wines to share with you. Essentially‚ if it’s delicious and we think you’ll love it... it’s on our list!
All our wines‚ beers‚ spirits and liqueur are suitable for vegans. Where possible we try to source organic and some biodynamic wines.
The use of organic farming methods‚ which eliminate synthetic chemical fertilisers‚ pesticides or herbicides that effect the natural growth and ripening of the grapes‚ are a return to traditional agriculture. This method helps to maintain the vine’s balance‚ producing healthier grapes‚ free of residues that alter the aromatic components of the fruit‚ its taste and natural texture.
We know you’ll love the new list‚ why not ask the staff for their favourite recommendations too...
Enjoy!
Roya
A note on Organic and Biodynamic viticulture...
Before we engage in any lengthy discussion about the nature of these practices‚ let it be known that organic and biodynamic farming isn’t anything new-most of the top producers of Old World wines have been practicing these arts since viticulture began. It is only in the last 60 years or so that chemicals began to be used widely on crops. We‚ at Café Roya, are hopeful that through the support of these practices we can rediscover the roots of fine food and wine.
Vegetarian and Vegan Wines
All our alcoholic and soft drinks are suitable for vegans. In wine making, the part where fermented wine is cleared of its sediment is called fining (or clarification). Quite frequently‚ if nature is allowed to take its course‚ any sediment particles will settle naturally over time at the bottom of any storage tanks‚ after which the clear wine is often racked off.
Waiting (can be many months) is sometimes not an option‚ so the winemaker may need to use one of the varieties of fining products to drop through
the wine to clarify it. However some fining agents contain animal gelatine
or fish-based products which are obviously not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. When an egg white or a similar milk based product is used‚ the wine is fine for a vegetarian. Alternatively‚ if an inert clay called ‘bentonite’ is used or‚ circumstances permitting‚ the winemaker allows nature to take its course‚ this makes the wine suitable for vegans.
Low to No - Sulphur
Sulphur dioxide is the most widely used and controversial additive in winemaking. It’s used as an antiseptic (to kill off unwanted moulds‚ bacteria and yeasts) and as an antioxidant (to inhibit oxygen spoiling the wine).
Sulphur certainly isn’t a bonus for us to ingest in wine‚ but it can be in most circumstances a ‘necessary evil’ so we can enjoy a relatively clean tasting product. However‚ for an increasing number of people‚ it can cause allergic reactions‚ asthma attacks‚ headaches and a heightened groggy ‘morning after’ feeling.
The good news is that there are positive choices as all certified organic and biodynamic wines contain regulated low average levels of sulphites, compared to many conventional wines.
