Ekens Wine Kit gives you up to 30 bottles that are ready to bottle after 3-4 weeks. An affordable and easy-to-make wine kit from Ekens.
Ekens Merlot Wine Kit makes a wine with soft notes of plum and blueberry. It can also be aged with oak for added complexity of coffee, chocolate and truffle notes. The wine is suitable for creamy dishes and desserts such as chocolate fondue, cheese board and fried camembert with cloudberries.
Tips for the wine making process and storing:
The wine can be enjoyed after a few weeks but benefit in structure and complexity from oak ageing. We recommend adding French oak chips, about 3-5 grams per bottle. This adds a complementary barrel character. To get a fuller wine the volume of water added to the concentrate may be reduced. Store the wine in a dark and cool place.
The wine set contains:
6 liters of concentrate
Wine yeast
Jässtopp stabilizer (Potassium Sorbate E202 and Potassium Metabisulphite E224)
