Follow the instructions in the pack and you'll find it easy to make a merlot wine kit at home.
Merlot wine comes from the merlot grape and makes a medium to full bodied wine that's easy to drink. This is due to the low tannins in the grape which help give the wine a smooth velvety feel with a low acidity and therefore it has a sweetness that tannins normally cancel out in higher tannin wines.
The flavours can vary depending on the climate the grapes are grown.
Warmer climates give red fruit flavours like strawberry, cherry and raspberry mixed with chocolate and some spices like clove.
Cooler climates tend to product a merlot with flavours of blackberry and blackcurrant with hints of tobacco, and an earthy tone.
Merlot also works really well when oaked, so try adding 15-30 grams of oak chips at the same time as you add your yeast and get those extra buttery, vanilla woody tones from the oak. It also adds some extra tannins so helps hide some of the sweetness that merlot is known for.
Merlot is a great wine to drink on its own or with food. It's a very versatile style of wine that pairs really well with a large variety of foods.

You will have the fermenter foaming all over the floor and walls but you will have the real quality that you want .
Made fruit wines of all types for years and on some as a hobby , had a go last year base level wine kit and so so ,a bit sweet ok if you only want to get well oiled . But this added to a kit is wow for a nearly sixty year old wine drinker just try adding half the bottle to your next 30 bottle kit you will never go back.
Very good works a treat.makes the wine look professional and attractive to the coinesseur.
I made my first ever wine, blackberry wine using this bag after following David on his Youtube video, great product, less mess and easy to use. Thank you David for your help and support with my order.
Easy kit to brew. Pleasant, very refreshing apple flavour ideal for lazy summer days in the sun. Very impressed and intend to try others in this range.👍
My second time of ordering. Over Christmas, brewbitz were also extremely helpful when I had a change of shipping address.
Really top rate product. The neck hole is the correct size for rubber bungs, Nylon fermentation bungs & Safety Bungs, unlike that which others are selling.
I had run out of camden tablets, the fresh supply halted any residual fermentation prior to bottling, Banana Wine clears without any intervention,I reccomend it.
A really good bit of kit, saves a lot of time & hassle filling your bottles. Once you do a few adjustments your good to go. It is also well made. All in all a really good addition to your brewing set up
Great tasting wine with easy to follow instructions
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant can’t fault there website , delivery service, 5 stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟
I looked everywhere for this size washer to fit the taps on my fermentor - delivered fast and as described :-)
the family love it, getting more visits than usual.lol
Needed to boost my white wine stock so I tried this kit. Easy to make but did take a couple of days longer to complete fermentation than specified. Having said that, it's December and the fermentation room is cool. Whilst I used a heater pad with temperature control, I think the fermentation conditions were not perfect. Hence the extra day or two. The bulk of the brew is waiting polishing but I did run a sample through a gravity filter for tasting. Very pleased with the result even though it has had no time to mature :-)
A very good kit supplied by a very reliable supplier
, it's a great favourite of all of my friends when we have a get together.
I found this lager to be a light and refreshing lager with a pale colour. It doesn't have the strong taste or hoppiness of a pils type beer. It is very, very easy to drink. I made it with 1.5Kg of sugar and this resulted in an ABV of approximately 5.2%. One of my favourites!
