Baby Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that feel composed, intentional, and thoughtfully made, wines that reflect discernment rather than excess. With the Baby Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan, you step into a style of home winemaking that values proportion, balance, and expression. This is about shaping a wine that feels purposeful from the first decision to the final bottle, one that aligns with a lifestyle centered on quality and taste. Inspired by the Super Tuscan movement of the 1970s, this Syrah Merlot blend captures the spirit of innovation through harmony rather than force. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create a wine that feels refined, expressive, and confidently personal.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation unfolds, you guide a wine defined by clarity and fruit driven elegance. Aromas of ripe cherry, red plum, and blackberry rise first, supported by Syrah’s signature notes of cracked pepper and subtle floral lift. Merlot shapes the palate with softness and integration, contributing gentle earth tones and a smooth, rounded texture that keeps the wine supple and expressive. The finish is dry and measured, carrying fresh fruit and light spice with cohesion and length. This is a full bodied red wine that emphasizes fruit, balance, and refinement, offering depth without heaviness and structure without austerity.

What Makes This Kit Different
This is premium home winemaking built around authenticity rather than shelf stability. You work with raw grape concentrates and real grape skins, not heat processed substitutes designed to endure long periods at room temperature. Each Artisan kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, delivering natural color, texture, and phenolic balance while preserving approachability. In traditional red winemaking, fermenting with skins and seeds is essential to achieving a complete and natural mouthfeel. This method is why wines made with Finer Wine Kits move beyond the familiar kit taste associated with shelf stable brands and instead express the freshness, balance, and depth expected from wines made with fresh grapes.

A Classic Expression of Balance
Artisan wines are designed to finish at 12.5 to 13 percent alcohol, a range long regarded as the classic sweet spot for fine wine. This level preserves fruit clarity and integration while maintaining structure and length on the palate. The result is a full bodied wine that matures sooner and expresses greater fruit forwardness than higher alcohol wines, allowing balance and complexity to emerge without extended aging.

Cold Stored, Direct to Your Door
This kit is a true agricultural product and cannot sit on a shelf. Because of its perishable nature, it is stored cold and shipped directly from freezer storage to your door, preserving freshness, aroma, and varietal character. This direct to door model is fundamental to quality and is a defining principle behind every Finer Wine Kits product. By eliminating distributors and wholesalers, you receive top grade ingredients at peak condition without unnecessary markups.

The raw grape concentrate is vacuum evaporated at low temperatures to protect the grape’s intrinsic character and avoid the cooked flavors common in shelf stable kits. If you are not ready to begin immediately, the grape skins must be stored in your freezer, and the raw grape concentrates must be stored at 3 degrees F or colder to preserve quality.
