Syrah Wine Kit, Artisan

Overview

You are drawn to wines that feel expressive and grounded, wines that balance power with nuance and reward a thoughtful hand. With the Syrah Wine Kit, Artisan, you step into a varietal known for depth, aromatics, and a distinctly soulful character. This is a wine for someone who values complexity and presence without excess, where richness is shaped by structure and intention. Crafted from premium California grapes and developed by Finer Wine Kits, this kit allows you to create a Syrah that feels composed, layered, and unmistakably purposeful.

Flavor and Style
As fermentation unfolds, you guide a wine that reveals intensity through detail. Dark plum and black cherry form the core, layered with notes of cassis, cocoa, and subtle truffle that add depth and intrigue. A spicy, floral nose lifts the profile, while bold acidity keeps the palate focused and energetic. The texture is cohesive and polished, supported by firm yet integrated tannins and a deep ruby color that reflects the varietal’s natural concentration. The finish is dry and persistent, carrying dark fruit and savory spice with clarity. This is a medium to full bodied Syrah that delivers richness, balance, and expressive character without heaviness.

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 endure room temperature storage. Each Artisan kit includes 2 lbs of real grape skins and 2 oz of grape seeds, delivering natural color, texture, and phenolic balance while preserving freshness and varietal integrity. 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 depth, realism, and structure 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 preserves 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 balance and complexity to emerge 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.
