Meritage Wine Kit with Fresh Skins Option - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series

Experience the joy of home winemaking with the Meritage Wine Kit with Fresh Skins Option - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series. This high-quality wine kit offers you the opportunity to create your own Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot blend, right from the comfort of your home. Sourced from premium California grapes, this kit is inspired by the Meritage blend, a California alternative to the French Bordeaux, developed in the 1980s.

The Meritage Wine Kit - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series is designed to produce a medium-bodied red wine, bursting with dark berry fruit flavors, floral aromas, and hints of vanilla. This wine kit is sure to impress your friends and keep them asking for more.

As part of the versatile Tavola Series, this winemaking kit allows you to customize your wine to your preferences. Depending on whether you choose to use no skins, a single, or double skin pack, you can create a range of wines from lighter to medium-bodied.

The fresh, unprocessed double skin packs offer a richer tannin profile, akin to a Forte Series kit, but with a more subtle flavor due to a lower ABV. Wines made with double skin packs exhibit a deeper color and heavier body, but require longer aging (6 - 12 months).

Opting for a single skin pack will also enhance the tannins and body of your wine, but with less aging required (4-6 months). If you prefer a light to medium-bodied wine that's ready to drink faster, using no skins will achieve this in just 6 - 12 weeks.

For an added twist, the double skin packs come with oak cubes, which impart more vanilla qualities to your wine. You also have the unique option to add grape seeds, an exclusive innovation from Finer Wine Kits, to increase tannins and round out the tannin profile.

If you're new to winemaking, don't worry. The Meritage Wine Kit - Finer Wine Kits Tavola Series comes with the best instructions around, ensuring a smooth and successful winemaking process.
