Syrah Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that evolve through intention rather than accident, wines shaped by creativity, adaptability, and conviction. The Syrah Super Tuscan-Style Wine Kit, Artisan, began as a thoughtful response to circumstance and earned its place by merit. Originally developed as Finer Wine Kits’ creative interpretation of a Super Tuscan when Sangiovese was unavailable, this blend quickly proved itself. Its balance, depth, and character resonated so strongly that it remained a permanent expression, not as a substitute, but as a distinct and celebrated style in its own right. Crafted from premium California grapes and refined by Finer Wine Kits, this wine reflects the same independent spirit that defined the original Super Tuscan movement, expressive, confident, and unapologetically purposeful.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation progresses, you guide a wine that leans into richness with composure. Syrah takes the lead, delivering dark blackberry, black cherry, cracked pepper, and subtle floral tones that give the wine its core identity. Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and length through blackcurrant, firm tannins, and gentle herbal notes, while Merlot brings balance and polish with softness, roundness, and earthy undertones. The result is a medium to full bodied red wine with deep color, layered aromatics, and a dry, cohesive finish. This is a wine that feels bold yet controlled, offering complexity without excess and depth without heaviness.

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 room temperature storage. 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 freshness and definition. 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 express the realism, 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 medium to 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 essential 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.
