Finer Wine Kits makes your Syrah Winery Series kit from top California grapes. The juice is extracted carefully to hold onto the deep, genuine character of the grapes. The outcome is a clean, concentrated base that's set up to make outstanding wine. Nothing goes into these concentrates beyond the grape juice of the variety and sulfites. That’s it! Finer Wine Kits concentrates are not ultra pasteurized, so more of the grape's own flavor survives compared with typical shelf stable concentrates.
Here's what wineries report. Wineries came to us looking for this, and that's why it exists. Those already using it say their wines improved a lot. 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.”

Adding Grape Skins and Additive Packs:
During checkout you can choose skins and add packs.
Use 3 packs of skins if you want a light bodied wine. Go with 6 packs for medium bodied wines and 9-12 for big bodied ones. You can set the quantity yourself. If you order more skins than this batch needs, check that you have freezer space.
All the add packs you need can be purchased as well. You probably have additives already, so they're optional here to stretch your savings. 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. Wineries outside prime grape country can lift their wines with these concentrates. They stretch your yield, improve your wine's flavor and make your results more consistent.
Kit-based wineries get a big upgrade with the Finer Wine Kits Winery Series. Switch over and let your glass tell you.
Freshness comes with a catch: since the concentrates and skins aren't ultra pasteurized, they need more care. Leaving them on a warm shelf will ruin them. Plan to begin the kit the day it shows up, or keep it chilled until you can. Refrigerate the concentrates below 40 degrees. Keep the skins below freezing.
