Meritage Red Blend Concentrate 6.75 L

Meritage Red Blend Concentrate 6.75 L – Finer Wine Kits

Crafted from the finest California grapes, the Meritage Red Blend Concentrate from Finer Wine Kits delivers a bold and expressive interpretation of this classic American blend. First pioneered in the 1980s as a New World alternative to French Bordeaux, the Meritage style brings together the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon and the supple elegance of Merlot. You’ll enjoy dark berry fruit flavors and floral aromas with hints of vanilla—signature of this celebrated blend.

This 6.75-liter bladder gives you just the juice—no unnecessary extras. Designed for experienced winemakers who want full control, this concentrate comes without additives, allowing you to balance acidity, adjust mouthfeel, and manage fermentation your way. It’s the ideal option if you already have your own techniques dialed in.

Want even more depth and complexity? You can add unprocessed grape skins and grape seeds for enhanced tannic structure and authentic varietal character. These options deliver greater extraction potential—just like working with fresh grapes, but with the convenience of concentrate. The bladders are the same size as those used in our Tavola series and are stored cold, shipped in insulated packaging to preserve peak freshness.

Since Finer Wine Kits concentrates are not ultra-pasteurized, they retain more integral flavor than traditional shelf-stable grape juice concentrates. Your concentrates contain nothing but the varietal juices and sulfites. That’s it. This makes them a perfect choice if you're aiming for superior wine quality—pure, potent, and primed to produce exceptional results.

Whether you’re making a full 6-gallon batch or using it to boost fresh grape production, this concentrate adapts to your winemaking goals. You can also use it to increase yield or improve the body and structure of low-sugar grape harvests or underwhelming juice buckets.

Environmentally conscious? By skipping unwanted additives and only buying the materials you need, you're saving money—and reducing waste.
