Californian Red
from £11.25
California Red is produced from the Zinfandel grape which is a cross between Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignane. The wine is deep in colour and the flavour is spicy, peppery with a hint of red berries and/or dark cherries.
It is usually served cool at around 18C, which is neither room temperature nor fridge temperature but somewhere in the middle!
The 1 gallon (6 bottle) kit contains 1.5 litres of juice, whilst the 5 gallon (30 bottle) kit contains 7.5 litres.
Both are complete kits; the yeast, bentonite, stabiliser, oak chips (the use of which is optional) and finings are all included and no additional sugar is needed.
