SG Wines Platinum Chardonnay – 30 Bottle Wine Kit

SG Wines Platinum Chardonnay is a fast fermenting winemaking kit. It is a 7-day sugar inclusive kit producing an elegant, well-balanced white wine, with subtle fruit complexity and a clean finish.

Begin fermentation on day 1, complete it by day 5, and have it cleared and ready to drink by day 7. Make these kits rapidly by ensuring the right fermentation temperature; they’ll be ready to drink within one week of creation.

This kit takes around 1 week to complete. However, we highly recommend leaving this wine for as long as possible for further maturation. This releases its more complex flavours and to deepen them further.
