Reynolds Family Winery 'reserve' Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Harvesting Grapes

   Select and harvest the best Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from the vineyard. Ensure that the grapes are fully ripe and free from disease.

2. 2

   Crushing and Pressing

   Crush the harvested grapes to release the juice. Use a wine press to separate the juice from the skins and seeds.

3. 3

   Fermentation

   Transfer the grape juice into a fermentation vessel. Add the Yeast Nutrient and the Malolactic Bacteria to the juice. Allow the fermentation process to take place for approximately 2 weeks at 70°F (21°C).

4. 4

   Adding Oak Chips

   After fermentation is complete, add the Oak Chips to the wine for aging. Allow the wine to sit with the oak chips for 3-6 months, depending on the desired flavor.

5. 5

   Sulfite Addition

   After the aging process, add the Sulfites to stabilize the wine and prevent spoilage.

6. 6

   Bottling

   Filter and transfer the wine into clean bottles. Seal the bottles and label them appropriately. Store in a cool, dark place.

7. 7

   Enjoying

   Allow the wine to age in the bottle for at least 6 months before consuming. Serve at room temperature and enjoy responsibly.
