Tonys Tips

On The House wine ingredient kits are being launched around Summer 2020 to replace the California Connoisseur range - These new kits produce wines that are all superb and often rate well above wines bought at the supermarket! Just follow the exact instructions to the letter, watch the fermenting temperature 22c - 25c or as suggested and later the "cellar" or storage temperature which ideally should remain a constant coolish 15c in a darkish place.

One worthwhile tip is to thoroughly de-gass the wine when prompted by the instructions, as often as possible over a 24 hour period, a cylindrical wine fermenter is best used for this essential operation by briskly rolling the contents to quickly and easily remove the naturally produced Carbon Dioxide. (Make sure the fermenter cap is solid or firmly stopped!).

Merlot is one of the most popular Primary grapes used in the Bordeaux region of France and possibly takes its name from the French word Merle - Blackbird, with its blue/red colouring, fleshy softness and intriguing, lyrical, early morning and evening songs (more evident after a glass or two of Merlot!)
