Description
Beaverdale Malbec – 30 Bottle Wine Kit
Malbec is a purple grape variety, which is dark, inky in colour and is robust in tannins. The Malbec grape is thick-skinned and needs more sunlight and heat than either Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. It ripens mid-season and brings very deep colour and a particular plum-like flavour to add complexity to claret blends.
Malbec is a medium to full-bodied, dry red wine with plenty of acidities and relatively high tannin and alcohol levels. Ripe flavours of plum, black cherry and blackberry can give this wine a decidedly jammy character.
Beaverdale Kits
Beaverdale is a premium quality wine kit which requires no added sugar (all of the sugar content is contained within the grape juice). Everything you need to make this wine is included with the kit (except water). The wine can be drunk young, but unlike some 3-week wine kits, it will continue to mature if you are patient. This kit will make 5 gallons (22.5 litres) of wine, which will produce around 30 bottles of delicious wine.
First launched in 1988, The House of Beaverdale began producing a pure grape juice concentrate of such high quality it would allow people to produce, in their own homes, a range of wines to rival those produced professionally in the Chateaux of the world’s great wine-producing regions. The House of Beaverdale firmly believes that, even within a week of this wine being finished, you will not buy a better product. However, as The House of Beaverdale only uses pure grape juice, your finished wine will improve with keeping and, if you are able to lay down a few bottles from each batch, you’ll be amazed at the improvement that the maturing process has on your wine.
What’s included?
- A pouch of Malbec style grape concentrate
- Oak chips
- A sachet of yeast
- Wine stabiliser to end the fermenting process
- Sachets of Chitosan and Kieselsol wine finings to clear the wine
- Full instructions
What equipment do you need?
Basic 5 gallon winemaking equipment, for example, plastic bucket or fermenter, bung, airlock and sterilizer. You will find these under the starter kit section of this website.
Food Pairing
Malbec holds up well with dark, rich, meat poultry, roasted pork and leaner cuts of red meat such as sirloin or filet. It pairs well with pasta dishes and rich-bodied, fatty fish and also is one of the few bold red wines out there that consistently pairs well with blue cheese and other pungent, soft cheeses.
Tips:
We recommend using a Vinbrite filter to clear the wine to a professional standard.
If you can leave it a few months to mature, the wine will greatly improve.
