Great Australian Red Blend-Style Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview
You are drawn to wines that feel expansive and assured, wines that combine structure with generosity and reflect a confident, world-inspired point of view. With the Great Australian Red Blend-Style Wine Kit, you explore a bold yet balanced expression rooted in the spirit of classic Australian red blends and interpreted through premium California fruit. This is a wine for someone who values harmony over excess, where power is shaped by control and richness is guided by clarity. Developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit invites you to craft a red that feels purposeful, expressive, and unmistakably refined.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation progresses, you shape a blend that brings two commanding varietals into seamless alignment. Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and definition, offering dark cassis, black cherry, and firm lines that anchor the wine. Syrah layers in depth and energy, contributing blackberry, cracked pepper, subtle smoke, and a touch of savory spice. Together they create a full bodied red wine with a vibrant ruby color, polished tannins, and a palate that balances dark fruit intensity with lift and freshness. The finish is dry and composed, carrying fruit, spice, and gentle warmth with cohesion and length.

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 withstand room temperature storage. Each Artisan style kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, delivering natural color, texture, and phenolic structure while preserving fruit focus and balance. In traditional red winemaking, fermenting with skins and seeds is essential to achieving a complete and natural mouthfeel. This approach is why wines made with Finer Wine Kits move beyond the familiar kit taste associated with shelf stable brands and instead reflect the depth, realism, and structure expected from wines made with fresh grapes.

A Classic Expression of Balance
These 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.
