Wine Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Grapes

   Begin by washing the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec, and Syrah grapes thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Once cleaned, crush the grapes in a large container to release their juices. Ensure to reserve some whole grapes for later use.

2. 2

   Mix the Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, dissolve the sugar in the water, stirring until fully dissolved. Gradually add the dissolved sugar water to the crushed grapes and mix well to combine.

3. 3

   Add Yeast

   Sprinkle the wine yeast evenly over the mixture of crushed grapes and sugar water. Stir gently to incorporate the yeast into the grape mixture.

4. 4

   Fermentation Process

   Cover the container with a clean cloth or fermentation lid, allowing for airflow. Place the container in a dark, cool area (approximately 18-22°C) for fermentation. Allow the mixture to ferment for about 7-14 days, stirring daily.

5. 5

   Straining

   Once fermentation is complete, use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the liquid from the grape solids. Collect the strained liquid into a clean fermentation vessel, discarding the solid remains.

6. 6

   Aging the Wine

   Seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock and store it in a cool, dark place for aging. Allow the wine to age for at least 3-6 months for optimal flavor development.

7. 7

   Bottling

   After the aging period, carefully siphon the wine into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal the bottles with corks and store them in a horizontal position in a cool, dark area.
