Your Reserve Australian Chardonnay Wine Kit is a full-bodied, opulent winemaking kit that brings the authentic taste of Australian Chardonnay right to your home. This kit is a celebration of the rich, fruity, and vanilla-oak flavors that have made Australian Chardonnays renowned worldwide. The wine you'll produce is full, supple, buttery, and fruity, delivering a clean, lingering finish that pairs perfectly with chicken, fish, salads, and cream-sauce pastas.
Despite the kit's compact size, it doesn't compromise on the quality or quantity of the wine produced. The Reserve Australian Chardonnay Wine Kit has been refined from a 16L size down to a 10L size, yet it still produces the same amount of wine. This kit comes with 10L of juice and makes a 6 Gallon batch (23 L), yielding approximately 28-30 standard 750 ml bottles.
The wine produced from this kit is dry in sweetness, with a medium-full body. The tasting notes include ripe pineapple, mango, and vanilla, providing a creamy texture. The oak intensity is heavy, contributing to the wine's full-bodied flavor. The alcohol by volume (ABV) is 13%, based on following Winexpert winemaking instructions. Please note that the wine kits do not come with equipment.

Aging Guidelines for This Wine Kit
Recommended aging: 3 to 6 months after bottling. This wine benefits from time for its flavors and texture to become more harmonious. Begin sampling near three months, allowing richer or oaked styles additional time. For crisp, aromatic varieties, extended aging can reduce fresh fruit and floral character rather than improve the qualities you selected them for.
Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 18 reviews.

Wife likes better than Dry Creek Private Reserve
"A very good wine and simple to make. My wife and her friend just love it compared with a higher end chard that I made, but I like them both (the girls); I love the wines."
Perfect!
"I made this wine about 15 months ago and it is now superb! Glad I waited for extra aging, it is my favorite chardonnay wine kit to date. Has a great balance of oak, fruit and butter flavors. All my wine drinking friends are very impressed with it! (I am purchasing another kit today!)"

Lives up to Its Description
"Let’s get the easy stuff out of the way: love LabelPeelers. They’re flash to bang between order and doorstep is just amazing. When I buy WE products, LabelPeelers is always my first stop. So, in late August I wrote Matt P., asking for a recommendation for an oaky Chard with some decent body. I was wrestling between this kit and the California Chard. Without hesitation, Matt pointed at the Aussie. I got it home and started the process and it all felt vaguely familiar. So, I dug through my notes and, sure enough I found that this was the second wine kit I ever made. It’ll be interesting to see if the wine is any different now that I’ve got dozens of kit, juice and fresh grape wines under my belt. What I can suggest with this wine: take the potassium sorbate and throw it in the trash. You won’t need it, as the wine will ferment to dry very quickly. The EC-1118 yeast that comes with the wine is basically the Little Engine that Could of wine yeasts. Also, take that clarifier and put it on a shelf. The wine will clear all on its own. Next, use all the oak chips in the primary. Chips tend to give up the goodies in about 3 weeks. So, after two weeks in a primary, probably best to chuck ‘em and drop fresh chips (or better yet cubes) in the secondary. I’m trying something new in my secondary - Batonnage. After you rack to a secondary vessel, you’ll have some nice fine lees at the bottom. Dose your wine with the potassium metabisulfite and add your desired amount of oak... for me that’s about 45 grams of medium toast French. Every three days, stir the fine lees and oak back up into the wine. Do this for about a month and a half. What you’ll get is a smoother, buttery biscuit-like, flavor. After you’re done stirring the wine, let it settle for another month and a half (three months in the secondary). Your wine will be pretty clear and very pleasant. Rack your wine off the oak and fine lees into a clean carboy and dose it again with your Kmeta. Bottle at six months OR dose it again and wait until month #9 to finally put this in the bottle. With white wines, you won’t need to age it too much longer. Maybe another wait another 3 months until you dig into this wine. You won’t be disappointed. Believe me -You’re white wine drinking friends will not believe you made this wine."
