Fermentation
Crush the grapes thoroughly and place them in a fermentation container. Allow the mixture to ferment for several weeks until the natural sugars convert into alcohol.

After fermentation, distill the grape mash to extract the alcohol. Collect the distillate and ensure that the anise flavor is infused during this stage.

Anise Infusion
Add the anise seeds to the distilled grape alcohol. Let it steep for at least 24 hours to fully extract the flavors.
