Method
Wine Making Directions
- 1
Harvesting the Grapes
Begin by carefully harvesting the ripe Pinot Grigio grapes. Ensure they are free from rot and pests.
- 2
Crushing the Grapes
Crush the grapes gently to release the juice. This can be done by hand or using a wine press to obtain a clear juice.
- 3
Preparing the Must
Combine the crushed grapes with water in a fermentation vessel to create the must. Stir in the sugar to help with fermentation.
- 4
Adding Yeast
Sprinkle the wine yeast over the must. Allow it to hydrate for a few minutes before stirring it into the mixture.
- 5
Fermentation
Cover the fermentation vessel with a cloth and let it sit in a cool, dark place for 7-14 days, stirring daily until fermentation starts.
- 6
Pressing the Wine
After fermentation, press the must to separate the liquid from the solids. Collect the clear wine in another vessel.
- 7
Sulfiting the Wine
Add sulfur dioxide to the wine to prevent oxidation and spoilage, then stir gently to mix.
- 8
Aging
Transfer the wine to a clean fermentation vessel (preferably glass) and let it age for at least 3 months, checking periodically.
- 9
Bottling
Once aged, filter the wine to remove any sediment, then bottle it in sterilized bottles. Seal with corks.
