Ingredients

  • 20–25 kg (yields ≈5–6 liters) Fresh white grapes (Riesling or Muscat style)
  • 1 packet Wine yeast
  • 1–1.5 kg (for sweetness) Sugar
  • 2–3 Campden tablets
  • 1 tsp Potassium sorbate
  • 500 ml Brandy (optional for fortification)

Method

  1. Crush grapes into must → add 1 crushed Campden → let sit 24 hours.
  2. Add yeast → ferment 5–7 days → strain → transfer to carboy.
  3. Add sugar 200–300 g at a time during fermentation (sweetens and increases alcohol).
  4. Ferment 4–6 weeks until bubbling slows.
  5. Optional fortify: add brandy to stop fermentation and boost sweetness/alcohol.
  6. Add Campden + sorbate → age 3–6 months → bottle.
  7. Age bottles 6–12 months — sweet white dessert wine for after dinner.
