Upgrading your yeast
For a soft, fruity red like this, try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred specifically for light, fruity reds meant for early drinking. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (an unheated garage or utility room, often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is the more reliable choice, as it won't stall in the cold.
