Varietal Grape Wine
Follow the Basic recipe for One Gallon.
Because the Acidity and Brix (sweetness) changes each year.
You must test your grapes.
Adjust acid levels: White grapes, Chardonnay, Riesling .65 - 70%
Red Grapes, Merlot, Cabernet, 65%
Use only Fully Ripe Grapes, no mold. De-stem and crush. Red grape pulp is used in the primary must but white grape pulp does not need to be added into the primary must.
Used 16-18 Pounds of Grapes per gallon of wine.
Lalvin # EC1118 yeast for red or white wines
