Tasting Notes

The Trinity blend offers impressive structure and balance — perfect for those seeking a serious wine with real character and ageing potential.

What Equipment Do You Need?

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.

Tips for Best Results

  • Keep temperature stable at 20–22°C for reds
  • This blend has excellent ageing potential — cellar for 6+ months if you can
  • Allow wines to clear completely before bottling
  • Age for minimum 2–3 months, but rewards longer cellaring
