Ekens Riesling

Ekens Wine Kit gives you up to 30 bottles that are ready to bottle after 3-4 weeks. An affordable and easy-to-make wine kit from Ekens.

This Wine Kit makes a wine with flavors of citrus, green apple, honey and mineral. A high acidity contributes to a fresh and crisp taste. Dry Riesling is suitable for fish and seafood dishes such as toast skagen, while the aroma of the semi-dry wines makes a nice pairing for Asian foods. Sweeter wines are best paired with desserts.

Tips for the wine making process and storing:
The wine can be enjoyed after 3-4 weeks, but gains from aging. You can choose to let the wine ferment all the sugar and become dry. Optionally you can create a semi-dry or sweet wine by adding extra brewing sugar after the Jässtopp stabilizer sachet has been added to the wine. If Jässtopp is not used, the wine will ferment out the added sugar and it is more difficult to achieve residual sweetness. It is also possible to stop fermentation when the sweetness of the wine is at a satisfactory level. French or American oak chips are suitable for Rieslings intended for aging, but some Riesling wines can be considered ready after a shorter period of storage without oak chips. Wine should always be stored in a cool, dark place.

5 liters of concentrate
Wine yeast
Jässtopp stabilizer (Potassium Sorbate E202 and Potassium Metabisulphite E224)
