A few accessories, a little patience - and the wine production becomes a delicious success! You need fruit, sugar, citric acid (optionally lactic acid), pure yeast, water and a fermentation container with an airtight seal. Very special care is required from the beginning to the fermentation, during the clarification as well as during the bottling. This is the only way the wine will later get its desired character. However, this requires, among other things, that the sugar and acid content is optimal. With an Oechsle scale, this can be determined individually; an aspect that plays a role in terms of taste and shelf life. As soon as the bubbling noise can no longer be heard after fermentation, the fruits are sieved and the clarification process begins. Even after extensive clarification as part of the winemaking process, it is possible that a sediment will later form when the bottle is stored. However, this does not detract from the taste of the wine. Tip: if the bottles are sealed with natural corks, the wine has the chance to breathe freely, which in turn ensures even better wine quality. With so much taste, it is definitely worth being creative in the garden.
