Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Making Process
Add Yeast and Nutrients
Sprinkle the wine yeast over the mixture and add the acid blend. Stir gently to combine.
Campden Tablets
Crush the Campden tablet and add it to the must to prevent wild yeast and bacteria from interfering with fermentation. Let the mixture sit for 24 hours.
Fermentation
After 24 hours, cover the fermentation vessel with an airlock and allow the wine to ferment in a cool, dark place for 2-3 weeks, or until fermentation is complete.
Racking
Once fermentation is complete, siphon the wine off the sediment into a clean carboy, avoiding the lees at the bottom.
Aging
Seal the carboy with an airlock and let the wine age in a cool, dark place for at least 3 months.
Bottling
Once aged, siphon the wine into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top, and cork them. Let them rest for another month before enjoying.
