Young's Definitive Red Wine Enricher in the 1 litre bottle is a liquid grape-based additive for home-made red wine. Added to the must before fermentation, it gives a richer, fuller-bodied red with more depth than the kit or fruit would give on its own.

Why use it

  • More body and mouthfeel - rounds out reds that finish thin or watery
  • Deeper flavour - adds grape character and complexity
  • Higher starting gravity - the extra fermentable grape sugar gives a fuller finished wine
  • Larger bottle - the 1 litre size suits bigger batches or regular winemakers; a 250ml bottle is also available

How to use

Stir the enricher into the must before you add the yeast, then top up to your target volume and check the starting gravity with a Wine & Beer Hydrometer. Follow the dose on the bottle.

Good to pair with

For red wine makers who want more weight and flavour from a kit or a country wine, and who brew often enough to use the larger bottle.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I add Red Wine Enricher?

Add it to the must before fermentation, before the yeast goes in, so the extra grape sugars ferment out with the rest of the wine.

Will it make my wine stronger?

It raises the starting gravity, so the finished wine has more body and usually a little more alcohol. Take a hydrometer reading before and after fermentation to work out the strength.

Can I use it with any red wine kit?

Yes, it works with red wine kits such as WineBuddy Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot or Cantina Red, and with red country wines made from fruit.

How much should I use?

Follow the dose printed on the bottle for your batch size. The 1 litre bottle suits larger batches or several smaller ones.
