Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Making Process
Harvesting Grapes
Harvest ripe Malbec grapes from the vineyard.
Crushing and Destemming
Remove stems and crush the grapes to release the juice.
Fermentation
Add water and sugar to the crushed grapes. Sprinkle yeast over the mixture and stir gently. Cover with a cloth and let it ferment for about 7-10 days at room temperature.
Pressing
After fermentation, press the mixture to separate the liquid (must) from the solids (pomace).
Aging
Transfer the wine to a clean container. If desired, add oak chips for additional flavor. Let it age for at least 6 months in a cool, dark place.
Bottling
Once aged, bottle the wine and seal it. Let it rest for a couple of months before tasting.
