SG Wines Platinum Shiraz – 30 Bottle

SG Wines Platinum Shiraz is a 7-day sugar inclusive kit from the makers of one of the most popular 7-day wine kits. This Shiraz is a bold spicy red wine with deep purple colour flavours of blackberry and plum, with a hint of dark chocolate and black pepper.

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.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS REQUIRED to make SG Wines Platinum

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?

While this kit contains all the necessary ingredients, you will also need the following equipment.

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

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.
