We are constantly looking at ways we can improve how we operate to remove any negative impact on the environment. We have now discovered environmentally- conscious wine with a suitably maritime name and focus! (And it tastes really nice too!)
“Sea Change” is a range of ethically sourced, environmentally conscious wines that support ocean conservation through direct partnerships with key ocean and marine focussed charities. A monetary donation goes direct to the charities for every bottle sold.
The range is also designed with a minimum environmental impact- it’s amazing the changes that can be made with a little thought!
-
A lightweight glass bottle minimises transport and raw materials
-
No plastic is used in the finished product (unlike the majority of wines) and the closures contain no plastic elements and are biodegradable
-
No capsule covers are used which minimises packaging and makes recycling easier
-
Grape touch lables are used which consist of 15% recycled grape waste and raw materials from FSC certified forests.
Our chosen wines which are complimentary with dinner are from Salento, Italy:
Sea Change Chardonnay: easy drinking and full of flavour, fresh citrus and tropical fruits dominate the palate
Sea Change Negroamaro: a versatile and easy-drinking delight which is medium-bodied and well-balanced with flavours of berry fruits with a lovely lingering finish.
What a great trip! Visited so many islands, with walks ashore on many. Plenty of wildlife seen - whales, dolphins, porpoise, basking sharks, seals, many birds including some rare ones. Crew well organised and hospitality excellent. We were very well looked after by Skipper James, Bosun Cat, wonderful meals from Sarah and well guided and informed by Lynsey! The ship was very comfortable. This is a great way to see parts of Scotland that you would otherwise never visit.
