SG Wines Platinum Cabernet Sauvignon – 30 Bottle

SG Wines Platinum Cabernet Sauvignon is a 7-day sugar inclusive wine kit. It is a full-bodied red wine with aromas of fresh, ripe blackberries and blackcurrants and a long, lingering spicy palate.

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.

Although it takes around 1 week to finish, we highly recommend leaving this wine for as long as possible for further maturation and to release its more complex flavours and to deepen them further.

This fantastic, all-inclusive wine kit requires no extra sugar. Basic wine brewing equipment is necessary to start the fermentation. We recommend our 5-gallon deluxe wine starter kit to make this kits.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS REQUIRED

Included in the kit is a container of concentrated grape juice and sachets of yeast, stabiliser, finings and addback flavours – this improves taste & bouquet. Make this kit with just water; no extra sugar is necessary.

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU NEED?

This kit contains all the ingredients you’ll need, but you’ll also need the following equipment:

We recommend using a Vinbrite filter to clear the wine to a professional standard.

Flavours: Blackcurrant (cassis), blackberry, plum, often with hints of cedar, tobacco, green pepper, and spice
Body: Full-bodied
Tannins: Firm and structured, giving the wine a robust mouthfeel
