What Equipment Do You Need?

A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, syphon, and 30 bottles. New to home winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan — it's the single most important step for a clear, clean-tasting wine.

Upgrading your yeast: for a red like this, try Mangrove Jack's R56, built for rich, full-bodied reds with real aromatic complexity — a better match for Platinum's positioning than a quick-drinking strain. If your fermenting spot runs cold over winter (often under 15°C), Lalvin EC-1118 is the more reliable choice.

Tips for Best Results

  • Ferment at 18-22°C for a clean, consistent result
  • Allow the wine to clear fully before bottling
  • Platinum rewards patience — condition for 3-4 weeks in the bottle
