Method

Winemaking Process

Crushing the Grapes

Begin by washing the Syrah grapes thoroughly. Crush the grapes in a large container to release the juice. Make sure to keep the skins included for better flavor extraction.

Fermentation

Mix the crushed grapes with water and add the sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Add the yeast and cover the container with a cloth. Let it ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1-2 weeks.

Pressing

Once the fermentation is complete, press the mixture to separate the liquid from the solids. Use a wine press or a fine sieve to extract as much juice as possible.

Aging

Transfer the pressed liquid into a clean fermentation vessel and add oak chips. Seal the vessel and let it age for 3-6 months, tasting periodically to monitor flavor development.

Bottling

After aging, filter the wine to remove any remaining solids. Bottle the wine in sterilized bottles and cork them tightly. Allow the wine to age further in the bottle for at least 6 months before enjoying.
