Selection Original Wine Kits

Selection Original Kits offer world-class wines at an attractive cost — just a few dollars per bottle! Made with genuine varietal grape juice, these kits allow the home winemaker to replicate his or her favorite wine styles, from Merlot to Chardonnay.

Selection kits come with all the ingredients you will need, including yeast, additives, finings, and very easy-to-follow directions. Because the juice is concentrated, you will not need to add additional sugar to boost the gravity. Selection Original kits are the highest quality wine concentrates we have ever seen. The wine we have made from these kits has been excellent. They contain proportionately more juice than lesser brands, and will yield six gallons of full-bodied wine.

Please note: the aging recommendations that come with the kits are, in our opinion, too optimistic. We feel it is unrealistic to expect great wine after just a few weeks; age your wine at least four months (a year is better, if you can stand it) and you will be well rewarded.

Symphony. A white wine with the incredibly intense aromas of melon, grapefruit, mango, peach, banana and papaya. The fruity character picks up a strong backbone from the good acidity, and hint of tannin, carried over from the Granache Gris grape.

Viognier. The intense fruitiness of this beguiling wine suggests rich sweetness, but it shows a surprisingly dry and aromatic finish. A delicate yellow color, tinged with the variety's typical 'green-gold' hue, it bursts out of the glass with apricot, peach and spice aromas. As it matures, it can also display hints of jasmine, honeysuckle, kiwi, mint, orange blossom and even mango! While higher in alcohol than many white wines, it drinks well young nonetheless. Lower acidity makes it friendly to a wide range of foods, but its 'soft but strong' character makes it excellent for sipping alone.
