Pinot Noir Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that reward attention and intention, wines that reveal depth through balance rather than sheer weight. With the Pinot Noir Wine Kit, Artisan, you step into one of winemaking’s most expressive styles, where nuance, structure, and proportion matter at every stage. This is a wine for someone who values precision and restraint while still expecting substance in the glass. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create a Pinot Noir that feels thoughtful, layered, and confidently complete.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation progresses, you guide a wine that combines elegance with presence. Aromas of dark cherry and red currant rise first, joined by subtle herbal notes and hints of forest floor that give the wine its earthy character. On the palate, the fruit is concentrated and cohesive, supported by refined tannins and balanced acidity that provide shape and length without heaviness. The finish is dry and persistent, carrying red fruit and savory undertones with clarity and poise. This is a medium to full bodied Pinot Noir that delivers depth and structure while maintaining the varietal’s signature finesse.

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 tolerate long periods at room temperature. Each Artisan kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, providing natural color, texture, and phenolic balance while preserving elegance and freshness. 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 clarity, balance, and realism 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 supports aromatic detail and fruit 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 complexity and harmony to develop 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.
