Just started making a Tempranillo Wine Kit

Tempranillo wine Day 2

I started a Sommelier Reserve Spanish Tempranillo from Wine Kitz on Saturday. Today I took a peak and picture. It’s coming along perfectly. I don’t know about you but I love the smell of fermenting must. Once ready I will be barrel ageing this wine in Oak for a short time.

Have you made one? If so how has it turned out? Please comment below.

Details:

Type: Tempranillo

Yeast: Wyeast Chianti #4244

Additives: Light toasted oak chips. Varietal Grape skin pack, Bentonite.

Water: Purified RO water.

Some time has passed since putting my wine in the barrel. I’ve got to check it regularly to prevent over oaking it.
