Chilean Carmenere Wine Kit - Master Vintner® Sommelier Select®

Aromatic Chilean Carménère Wine Kit!

Not unusual for me to experience stuck fermentation when using wine kits. I find that adding a few pounds of fresh grapes and some citrus will help the fermentation process. After the first day I did not see any fermentation, so I added my own starter saved from an earlier batch. Shortly after, the batch started to boil and foam as if it was on a burner. After about three days, it settled and waited another day to transfer the batch to a six gallon carboy. Began to clear naturally so did not add any fining additives, It seems to have a pleasant floral aroma somewhat like Zinfandel. Carménère grapes contain a high level of aroma compounds called pyrazines. Will let it age a bit without oak before tasting and making any final adjustments.

Great wine kit and a great sale price!
