Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Making Process
- 1
Harvesting and Preparing Grapes
Harvest the Malbec grapes from the vineyard. Remove any stems and leaves and crush the grapes to release their juice.
- 2
Fermentation
Transfer the crushed grapes into a fermentation vessel. Add the yeast and sugar to the grape juice. Stir gently to combine and cover the vessel with a cloth.
- 3
Secondary Fermentation
Allow the mixture to ferment at room temperature for about 7-10 days, stirring occasionally. Once fermentation slows down, transfer the wine to another vessel, leaving sediment behind.
- 4
Aging
Add tannin to the wine and let it age in a cool, dark place for at least 6 months. This will enhance the flavor and aroma.
