depositphotos-159625776-l.jpgIntroducing the Finer Wine Kits 54-Gallon Drums - a revolutionary product that will elevate your wines to new heights. This is not just any Chardonnay Concentrate, but a promise of unmatched quality and consistency. If you are using concentrates to make wine at your winery, here's why you should switch to Finer Wine Kits concentrates - superior quality and more options. Finer Wine Kits concentrates are not ultra pasteurized to maintain integral quality. They are cold stored to avoid the "kit taste" associated with conventionally pasteurized concentrates. This delivers a more authentic finished wine that is much closer to wine made from fresh grapes than what is possible with conventional concentrates. Purchasing your Chardonnay Concentrate in bulk offers you additional cost savings, convenience and most importantly, a higher quality wine. 
 
Your Chardonnay Wine Making Concentrate in Bulk - Finer Wine Kits, 54-Gallon Drum makes a light to medium body white wine with flavors of apple, lemon and papaya with hints of butter. With a citrus fruit bouquet, ripe acidity and golden color, it is a signature California classic! 
 
Chardonnay Wine Making Concentrate is crafted from the finest California grapes. They undergo a meticulous process of extraction, preserving the rich, authentic flavors of the fruit. This results in concentrates that are pure, potent, and primed to produce exceptional wines. Your concentrates contain nothing but the varietal juices and sulfites. That’s it!

Don't just take our word for it. This new product exists because wineries came to us. Some have already made the switch and report significant improvement in their wine quality. 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.”
 
Not only can you use this concentrate to make all your wine, you can also blend it with your fresh grape juice. If you are not in a region with optimal grape cultivation conditions, these concentrates can really bring your wines to the next level. They will not only extend your yield, they will improve the flavor of your wines and offer you more consistent results.   
 
If you own a winery and are using concentrates or wine kits to make your wine, the Finer Wine Kits concentrates are a game changer. Make the switch today and taste the difference.
  • Character: Dry
  • Region: Lodi California 
Additives:
 
Check the appropriate box near the product image that indicates how you intend to make your wine.
 
Acid Blend: You will receive an acid blend packet to balance your must at a 3.5 pH. That is the minimum acidity required for sulfites to be effective as a preservative. The acid blend packet will be specific to your selection for light, medium or big bodied wine. You can make additional acidity adjustments based on your preferences.
 
 
Carbon and Bentonite: Your concentrate comes with carbon and bentonite for color correction. Finer Wine Kits concentrates are not ultra pasteurized to maximize the authenticity of your wine. White grape concentrates are subject to slight browning due to an enzyme that would be otherwise neutralized during pasteurization. In addition to color correction, there are also other benefits. Carbon improves flavor and aroma by removing esters related to the browning process. It is widely used in commercial white wine production as fresh grapes begin browning almost immediately after pressing. See disclaimer below for additional information.
 
No other additives are included. If you have a winery, you have your own supplies however, if you wish to purchase additives, here are some quantity/weight guidelines.

 Disclaimer:

54-Gallon Drums are intended for wineries with larger production capacities. Because Finer Wine Kits concentrates are not ultra pasteurized, there is a tradeoff between freshness and convenience. They cannot be stored at room temperature. Be prepared to make your wine after your concentrate arrives at your facility. If you have adequate refrigeration and can store unused concentrate, it must be refrigerated below 38 degrees F. If you are unable to make the entire drum and do not have adequate refrigeration, we recommend you choose from our winery series kits that make smaller batches.

Carbon and Bentonite are included with your concentrate. You will receive directions for how to use them with your concentrate that also incorporate Chitosan and Kieselsol. While the employment of this process is not required, if you do not use it, it may result in a white wine that is darker in color. Read the Carbon and Bentonite section under additives above for more information.
