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 wonderful experience. Ever since we enjoyed a week on Lizzie G as a dive boat in 2014, we wanted to return and renew our acquaintance with her on a wildlife cruise. And what a week - it exceeded all our expectations. From the first welcome with Prosecco and amazing scones, to the last sad farewell, we had a fabulous time. Our fellow guests provided lovely company and the crew - whose love and enthusiasm for what they did shone through - looked after us royally. Hannah was an excellent wildlife guide, pointing out the wide range of wildlife we were lucky enough to see, Callum ‘glass of wine anyone’ a caring and attentive Bosun, Charlie provided us with superb Cordon Bleu meals throughout our stay and Alasdair as Skipper was not only superb at ensuring we had the best opportunities to see the wildlife, his company and story telling in the eve were great fun. The range of wildlife as noted every eve by Hannah was impressive, highlights had to be Sea Eagles just ‘posing’ for us as well as flying and passing food, Red Deer stag bellowing on the skyline, other sea birds too numerous to mention, and as for the dolphins….! A trip like this is always weather dependent, and although the elements were against us towards the end of the trip, the itinerary was adapted so we missed none of the highlights. In short - an outstanding week. Thanks to all who made it so.
