Wine Ingredients
Method
Winemaking Directions
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Select ripe Sauvignon Blanc grapes from your vineyard or a local market. Ensure they are free from rot and damaged fruit.
- 2
Crushing the Grapes
Place the grapes into a grape-crushing machine to extract the juice. Collect the juice in a clean fermentation vessel.
- 3
Adding Water
Add 1 liter of clean water to the grape juice to achieve the desired dilution for fermentation.
- 4
Adding Yeast
Sprinkle 10 grams of yeast evenly over the surface of the juice. Allow it to hydrate for a few minutes before stirring gently to combine.
- 5
Fermentation
Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth, securing it with a rubber band. Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature (about 20-25°C) for 1-2 weeks or until fermentation is complete. Stir daily.
- 6
Adding Sulfur Dioxide
After fermentation is complete, add 50 mg/L of sulfur dioxide to the wine to stabilize it and prevent spoilage.
- 7
Adding Sugar and Acid Blend
If needed, adjust the sweetness and acidity of the wine by adding 10 grams of sugar and 5 grams of acid blend, stirring until fully dissolved.
- 8
Racking the Wine
Once the wine is stable, siphon it into another clean vessel, leaving any sediment behind. This process is called racking.

Aging
Store the bottled wine in a cool, dark place for at least 3-6 months to allow the flavors to mature before tasting.
