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 an aromatic, off-dry style like this, try Mangrove Jack's CL23, which keeps Reserve's aromatic whites clean and fresh — a good match for the floral, honeyed character here.
Fermentation Timeline
Week 1–3: Primary fermentation at 16–18°C for whites (cooler than reds).
Week 4–5: Add finings and allow to clear.
Week 6: Bottle and age for 4–6 weeks before drinking.
Tips for Best Results
- Whites prefer cooler fermentation at 16–18°C — this preserves the aromatic character
- Aromatic whites like this benefit from strict temperature control to keep the perfume
- Allow the wine to clear completely before bottling
- Serve well chilled and drink within 1–2 years while fresh
