Wine Making Process
- 1
Harvesting Grapes
Select ripe grapes, ensuring they are free from rot or disease. Remove stems and clean the grapes thoroughly.

Crushing Grapes
Crush the grapes in a clean fermentation vessel to release the juice. This can be done by hand or with a crusher.
- 3
Adding Yeast
Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the crushed grapes and gently mix to incorporate it into the juice.
- 4
Fermentation
Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth and allow the mixture to ferment at a controlled temperature (around 20°C) for 7-14 days, stirring daily.
- 5
Adding Sugar
After fermentation begins, add sugar to the mixture to enhance sweetness, stirring until fully dissolved.
- 6
Pressing
Once fermentation is complete, press the mixture to separate the juice from the solids. Use a wine press or a clean cloth to extract as much liquid as possible.
- 7
Adding Water
Dilute the resulting juice with water to your desired taste, balancing the strength of the wine.
- 8
Aging
Transfer the wine to a clean oak barrel or a container with oak chips and let it age for at least 6 months to develop flavors.

Bottling
Once aging is complete, filter the wine and bottle it. Seal the bottles with corks and store them in a cool, dark place.
