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.
This was our fifth trip on Elizabeth G and once again Rob and his superb team (including shore based Emma) delivered another fabulous holiday. Last years didn’t happen due to circumstances beyond everyone’s control. It was great to be back at the sharp end wildlife watching in the dramatic sea and landscapes. Lynsey, the wildlife guide, shared her encyclopaedic knowledge of all things animal and mineral making the holiday even more enjoyable. Sian produced the most delicious menus in quantities way above our capacity although we did our best, especially Jeff. This was our third trip with Craig and it’s just like holidaying with a family friend nothing is too much trouble, superb service. Although sea conditions didn’t allow us to keep to the original itinerary Rob ensured the alternatives were just as rewarding and his choice of overnight anchorages were idyllic and of course there was the mandatory hand dived scallops for dinner on the last night. The wildlife didn’t fail to deliver, breading birds by the tens of thousands on the towering sea cliffs, rafting on the sea and soaring overhead. Plus enough eagles whales and dolphins to keep everyone happy. St Kilda next year. Jill and Dave Jones
