Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Production Directions
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Carefully harvest the Pinot Gris grapes from the vineyard, ensuring they are ripe and free from damage. This usually takes place in late summer to early fall.
- 2
Crushing the Grapes
Once harvested, crush the grapes gently to release the juice. This can be done using a wine press or by hand.
- 3
Fermentation
Add the yeast to the crushed grapes and allow the mixture to ferment in a controlled temperature environment (around 15-20°C) for 2-3 weeks. Monitor the fermentation process closely.
- 4
Filtering
After fermentation, filter the wine to remove any solids. This will give the wine a clearer appearance and improve its mouthfeel.
- 5
Adding Sulfites (optional)
If desired, add a small amount of sulfites to stabilize the wine and prevent unwanted bacteria from developing. Adjust according to taste.
- 6
Aging
Transfer the filtered wine into a clean fermentation vessel and let it age for at least 3-6 months to develop its flavors.
