Finer Wine Kits built the Winery Series to take your wines further than before. These kits are about dependable quality and an easier process for your winery. If your winery makes wine from kits, here's why you should choose Finer Wine Kits concentrates - better ingredients and more options.
Your Cali Northern Rhone Wine Kit with Fresh Skins Option - Finer Wine Kits Winery Series is Finer Wine Kits' unique version of the French Northern Rhone blend. It is Syrah dominant with small percentages of Chardonnay and Riesling. Syrah’s dark fruit, peppery and floral notes are enhanced with Chardonnay’s buttery smoothness and Riesling’s citrus flavors will be sure to please.
This Cali Northern Rhone Winery Series Finer Wine Kit starts with high-quality California fruit. The extraction is done with care so the fruit's authentic richness comes through. What lands in your cellar is pure, intense concentrate set up for great results. Your concentrate is varietal juice plus sulfites, and that's all. That’s it! Because Finer Wine Kits concentrates skip ultra pasteurization, they keep more of their true flavor than standard shelf stable grape juice concentrates.
The results speak plainly. Wineries asked us for this, and we listened. Several have already changed over and say their wines are noticeably better. One customer review states, "Since switching to Finer Wine Kits, our wines have never tasted better. The flavors are more robust, the aromas more enticing. Our customers have noticed the difference too.”
Label Peelers can send you FIDS sheets and ingredient specs on request.
Mixing Ratio Guidelines:
You get 5.3 gallons of concentrate in every Winery Series kit. You're free to set the ABV to your specifications. The following mixing ratios mirror the ABV of the Forte, Prodigy, Artisan and Novello series kits.

- Yield: 61.6 liters, 76-82 750ml Bottles
- ABV: 13.5-15%
- Water Addition: 10-11 gallons

A 100 liter fermenter is needed for each batch.
Adding Grape Skins and Additive Packs:
You'll see options for skins and add packs when you check out.
A light bodied wine calls for 3 skin packs. Medium bodied wines take 6 skin packs; big bodied wines take 9-12. You choose the quantity you want. Buying extra skins? Make sure you have room in the freezer for them.
You can also buy every add pack you need. Most wineries already stock their own additives, so we made them optional to save you money. If you'd like them anyway, pick the additives that match your target ABV. You'll find the add packs configured for Novello, Prodigy, Artisan and Forte kits.
You can make every wine you sell from these kits, and if you have vines, they blend well with your fresh grapes. If your vineyard sits outside a prime growing region, these concentrates can noticeably raise quality. More wine per batch, richer flavor, and fewer surprises between lots are the payoff.
For a winery built on kits, the Finer Wine Kits Winery Series changes what's possible. Give them a try and let your wine show the difference.
The price of that freshness is handling: neither the concentrates nor the skins are ultra pasteurized. They have to stay cold; room temperature won't do. Be ready to make it on arrival, or have proper cold storage if you need to wait. Store concentrates in the fridge at under 40 degrees. The skins have to be kept frozen.
