Wine Ingredients
Method
Wine Making Directions
- 1
Preparing the Grapes
Start by washing the Monastrell and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
- 2
Crushing the Grapes
In a clean fermentation vessel, crush the grapes using your hands or a grape crusher to release the juice. Make sure to separate the stems from the grapes.
- 3
Adding Yeast
Sprinkle the yeast evenly over the crushed grapes and gently mix to incorporate it into the juice.
- 4
Dissolving Sugar
Dissolve the sugar in the water and add it to the fermentation vessel. Stir well to ensure everything is mixed properly.
- 5
Fermentation Process
Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth and allow it to ferment in a cool, dark place for about 7-14 days. Stir the mixture daily to promote fermentation.
- 6
Pressing the Wine
Once fermentation is complete, press the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids. Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to filter the wine.
- 7
Aging the Wine
Transfer the filtered wine into a clean glass or wooden container and allow it to age for at least 6 months to develop flavors. Store it in a dark, cool place.
- 8
Bottling the Wine
After aging, bottle the wine in clean, sterilized bottles. Seal with corks and label them for future enjoyment.
