White Wine
Method
Wine Making Process
- 1
Harvest Grapes
Select ripe Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon grapes, ensuring that they are free from rot or spoilage.
- 2
Crush Grapes
Crush the harvested grapes to release the juice. This can be done using a wine press or manually. Collect the juice in a sanitized container.
- 3
Add Water
Dilute the grape juice with 500 ml of water to adjust the sugar content for fermentation.
- 4
Inoculate with Yeast
Sprinkle the wine yeast over the juice mixture. Allow it to hydrate for about 15 minutes before stirring it gently into the juice.
- 5
Fermentation
Cover the container with a clean cloth and let the mixture ferment in a cool, dark place for 2-4 weeks, stirring daily. Monitor the fermentation process for bubbling activity.
- 6
Add Sulfites
Once fermentation is complete, add 2 grams of sulfites to stabilize the wine and prevent further fermentation.
- 7
Racking
After sulfites have been added, siphon the wine into another sanitized container, leaving the sediment behind. This process is known as racking.
- 8
Aging
Age the wine in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months. This allows the flavors to develop and mature.
