Sorry, Island Girl...there's no such thing. Sulfite is a naturally occuring bi-product of fermentation. Any fermented product contains some sulfite...and that includes bread, soy sauce, beer, etc.

It is true that for centuries winemakers the world over have added tiny amounts (parts per million) of additional sulfite to act as an anti-oxidant. The amounts of sulfite in wine are so minute that they seem only to bother the most hyper-allergic...and you are much more likely to find quantities of sulfite that might cause a reaction on restaurant salad bars or in fresh seafood cases at the market.

Because of modern winemaking techniques (micro-filtration, etc)today's wines have the least quantity of sulfite that they have ever had.

I'm curious...why especially are you seeking sulfite-free wine?
