WineBuddy 6 Bottle Merlot Wine Kit

WineBuddy Merlot Wine Kit — 6 Bottles

The WineBuddy Merlot Wine Kit makes 6 bottles of a deep, soft red wine with fruit flavours ranging from red cherries to purple plums and beautifully gentle tannins. Merlot is one of the world's most approachable red wines — smooth, rounded, and easy-drinking with no harsh edges. This kit brings all of that to your home at a fraction of the cost of shop-bought bottles.

Ready in as little as 7 days — simply add water, pitch the yeast, ferment, and bottle.

Upgrading your yeast

Smooth and approachable is Merlot's whole appeal, so try Mangrove Jack's CR51, bred for light, fruity reds meant for early drinking — a good match for this style's gentle tannins.

You May Also Need
