Method

Wine Preparation

1

Prepare the Grapes

Wash the Muscat grapes thoroughly and remove the stems.

2

Crush the Grapes

In a fermentation container, crush the grapes to release the juice.

3

Mix in Water and Sugar

Add 500 ml of water and 200 grams of sugar to the crushed grapes. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.

4

Add Yeast

Sprinkle 5 grams of yeast over the mixture and stir gently.

5

Fermentation Process

Cover the fermentation container with a cloth and let it sit at room temperature for about 5-7 days, stirring daily.

6

Add Brandy

After fermentation, strain the liquid into a clean container and add 200 ml of brandy to fortify the wine.

7

Bottle the Wine

Transfer the fortified wine into bottles and seal them. Let them age for at least 6 months for improved flavor.
