Wine Ingredients

Method

Wine Making Directions

  1. 1

    Harvesting Grapes

    Select ripe Pinot Noir grapes, ensuring they are free from rot or disease. Harvest approximately 1000 grams of grapes.

  2. 2

    Crushing Grapes

    Place the harvested grapes in a clean fermentation vessel. Crush the grapes by hand or with a crusher until the juices are released.

  3. 3

    Mixing Ingredients

    Add 500 ml of clean water and 50 grams of granulated sugar to the crushed grapes. Stir well to ensure even distribution.

  4. 4

    Adding Yeast

    Sprinkle 5 grams of wine yeast over the mixture. Allow it to hydrate for about 15 minutes before stirring it into the mixture.

  5. 5

    Fermentation Process

    Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth or fermentation lid. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for 7-14 days, stirring daily.

  6. 6

    Secondary Fermentation (optional)

    If using oak chips, add them after the primary fermentation. Transfer the wine to a secondary fermentation vessel for an additional 2-4 weeks.

  7. 7

    Filtering Wine

    After fermentation is complete, filter the wine using a fine mesh or cheesecloth to remove sediment and solids.

  8. 8

    Bottling

    Transfer the filtered wine into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Seal bottles with corks or caps.

  9. 9

    Aging

    Store the bottled wine in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months to allow flavors to develop and mature.
