Experience the joy of home winemaking with the Great Australian Red Blend Wine Kit with Fresh Skins Option - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series, a high-quality wine kit that brings the rich flavors of California grapes to your table. This unique Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah Wine Kit is a testament to our commitment to quality and innovation, offering you a taste experience that is unparalleled in its depth and harmony.

The Great Australian Red Blend is a symphony of rich flavors, masterfully blending the bold, spicy notes of Syrah with the robust, full-bodied character of Cabernet Sauvignon. This winemaking kit creates a medium-bodied red wine with a vibrant ruby hue, a tantalizing dark fruit bouquet, and a ripe tannic structure that leaves a lasting impression on your palate.

The Tavola Series reds are the most versatile wine kits in the Finer Wine Kits range. Depending on your preferences, you can create lighter to medium-bodied wines. Choose to make your wine with no skins, a single or double skin pack. The fresh, unprocessed double skin packs give your wine a richer tannin profile, similar to a Forte Series kit, but with a more subtle flavor profile due to a lower ABV. Wines made with double skin packs have a deeper color and heavier body, but require longer aging (6 - 12 months). A single skin pack will also enhance the tannins and body but will require less aging (4-6 months). Opting for no skins produces a delightful light to medium-bodied wine that is ready to drink the fastest (6 - 12 weeks). Kits with double skin packs also come with oak cubes which impart more vanilla qualities.

For an added touch, you can choose to include grape seeds, an exclusive innovation from Finer Wine Kits. These seeds will increase the tannins and round out the tannin profile of your wine.

If you're new to home winemaking, Finer Wine Kits is a great choice. Our instructions are the best around, guiding you through the process to ensure you achieve the best results. So why wait?

Equipment KitEquipment Kits

If your Great Australian Red Blend Wine Kit - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series is your first, equipment kits are a very easy and cost effective way to obtain what you need to get started. Wine kits provide ingredients and instructions but do not provide equipment. The Vintner's Best Deluxe Wine Equipment Kit pictured here has everything you need to make a six gallon batch of wine. Each batch yields approx. 28 to 30 - 750ml bottles of wine. This kit is the top of the line and there are other equipment kits you can choose from for your kit. 

Equipment Kit includes
- 7.9 Gallon Fermenting Bucket 
- Lid with Grommet
- 6 Gallon Glass Carboy
- Bottle Filler
- Double Level Corker
- Triple Scale Hydrometer
- Easy Clean Cleanser
- Auto Siphon w/ siphon hose
- Carboy Bung w/ Airlock
- Corks 30 count
- Plastic Mix Stir that attaches to drill 

fermenter Fermenters

A 7.9 Gallon Fermenter with a grommeted lid is the right vessel to use for your Great Australian Red Blend Wine Kit because you need extra headspace to account for active fermentation. It is good to replace buckets from time because plastic harbors bacteria. Here's a link to our fermenter equipment.

minijet-tubing-34987-97929.jpgHoses

Many people reuse their hoses for far too long. Replacing your hoses often is highly recommended with winemaking. Even if you have good sanitation practices, hoses are particularly difficult to keep clean. You do not want to risk a bacterial contamination in your Great Australian Red Blend Wine Kit over something that costs very little to replace. 

SiphonsSiphons

Auto-siphons are a great luxury item to have in your winemaking equipment. Once you have one you will never go without one again. Don't forget to use a heavy duty sanitizer to clean it since you don't want to replace it often as hoses. A good sanitizer for that job is Five Star San. Like hoses, Siphons are also difficult to keep clean so it is advisable to replace them. 

corker.pngCorkers

Corking can be a big job especially if you make a lot of wine. Also bigger corkers give you the option to use longer corks which are beneficial if you want to age your Great Australian Red Blend longer. The Italian Floor Corker pictured here is easy to use and makes corking easy and fun. 

AirlocksAirlocks

Airlocks are another inexpensive product that should be periodically replaced. Though it might be easy to assume bacteria is not a concern with airlocks because they do not actually touch your wine, this is not the case. A small increase in temperature could cause your wine to swell and back up into the airlock. It happens often. You don't want to risk losing your Great Australian Red Blend over a potentially unsanitary and cheap piece of plastic. 

6 gallon carboyCarboys 

Your Great Australian Red Blend Kit is designed to fit a 6 gallon carboy pictured here. Though glass carboys are one of the safest sanitary options for secondary fermentation and bulk aging your wine, they are fragile and break from time to time. If you use glass carboys, a carboy handle or carrier is very advisable. They should not be moved when full without carrying equipment. 

6.5 stopperStoppers and Bungs 

Your Great Australian Red Blend will need to sit in a carboy during secondary fermentation and like airlocks, bungs and stoppers should also be periodically replaced, especially if you make a lot of wine. Stoppers are available drilled for use with airlocks or solid for bulk aging after your wine has fully gassed out. The size 6.5 stopper pictured is made for a 6 or 5 gallon carboy. If you have many different sized vessels, universal bungs might be a more economical option.

Hydrometers can last a lifetime, if they don't break. If you have suffered the disappointment of breaking your favorite hydrometer you can view them here.

Winemakers always need more corks. Be sure to read the corker requirements of different corks before you make your selection because some cork sizes do not work with all corkers. If you want to age your Great Australian Red Blend longer corks are preferable.

You may be using the back of your stirring spoon to Degas your wine but a mix stir is the best way to remove unwanted gasses from your wine.
