A 23-litre fermentation vessel, airlock, hydrometer, siphon, and 28–30 bottles. New to winemaking? Our wine starter kits bundle all essentials. Always sanitise with VWP or ChemSan for best results.

Upgrading your yeast: for a full-bodied blend like this, try Mangrove Jack's R56, built for rich reds with real aromatic complexity — a good match for this style's structure.

Fermentation Timeline

Week 1–3: Primary fermentation at 20–22°C for reds.

Week 4–5: Add finings and allow to clear.

Week 6: Bottle and age for 2–3 months before drinking.

Tips for Best Results

• Keep temperature stable at 20–22°C for reds — temperature swings cause stuck fermentation
• Don't skip sanitisation — this is the single most important step
• Allow wines to clear completely before bottling
• Age for 2–3 months minimum for best flavour development
