Australian Style Blend Shiraz

A complete Australian-style Shiraz kit designed to make 23 litres of dark-ruby, full-bodied red wine with rich tannin and balanced acidity. Additional ageing can soften and improve the balance.

What else you will need

The wine ingredients, yeast and stabiliser are included. Add water and use clean, sanitised wine-making equipment, a suitable fermenter, hydrometer and bottles.

How to make it

Add water to make 23 litres, add the included wine yeast and follow the kit schedule. The supplied method allows about six days for fermentation followed by the stabiliser and a further day, but confirm fermentation, clearing and stability before bottling.

Other red styles in this range

• Australian Style Blend Cabernet Sauvignon – a full-bodied, dark-ruby Cabernet style.
• Australian Style Blend Merlot – a lighter, fruit-led rosé-style blend.

Each kit makes 23 litres, but follow the ingredients and instructions supplied with the selected style.
