Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Making Kit | VineCo Original Series™

    Description

    The world’s superlative winemaking grape, Cabernet Sauvignon is capable of producing the most complex, well-balanced, and lasting red wines you’ll ever come across. As one of the most tannic grapes used in winemaking, Cabernet Sauvignon has long been misunderstood as a wine that required ageing in order for it to develop and soften. But after decades of research, growers have learned to identify when the grapes are ready to be harvested based on the tannic ripeness, rather than sugar content alone. Although these wines are ideal candidates for ageing—and will develop beautifully when laid down—it is well within reach for winemakers to produce excellent, structured Cabernet Sauvignons that are well-enjoyed while they’re still young. Descended from Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, this relatively young grape is believed to have sprouted up from a chance crossing in the 17th century. Regardless, Cabernet Sauvignon is now the most widely planted wine grape in the world.

    The VineCo Original Cabernet Sauvignon is a must for any red wine lover. Add a few bottles to your cellar and revisit over the months and years to see just how much the wine can develop. If you want something to pair well with a char-grilled steak, look no further than this bold, assertive varietal.

        excellent wine

        This wine is an excellent choice for a cab! It was my second batch of wine that I made and I could kick my booty for no having started to make wine sooner. My new go to vice!

        Worth trying

        I am very satisfied with the delivery and the kit came with everything I needed. The wine hasn’t had time to age but it already tastes better than most of the wines I’ve bought of the shelf. I think it’s an excellent value and a great hobby.

        Instructions says "if your kit contains oak chips OR granular oak to add to primary." My kit came with 30g granular and 45g chips. Do I add both or only one of the two options?

        MoreBeer!

        I added both left in the primary for over a month and still couldn't taste oak.. That is to say that you won't overdo it by using both.

        MoreBeer!

        I added both. Bottling this week but everything looks really good.

        MoreBeer!

        I added both at the same time. I used a brand new knee high stocking (which I sanitized) and put both chips and granular oak inside of it and tied a knot in it. This way I got the flavor from the oak but it mostly stayed in the stocking so it was easier when it came time to transfer the wine. That’s when I removed the stocking and threw it all away!

        MoreBeer!

        Add both. My kit turned out great.
