Fontana French Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Kit for Home Winemakers

Experience a cabernet-style wine with depth and nuance. This Fontana kit emphasizes blackcurrant over cassis, with tannins that are firm without being drying and a subtle hint of mint. The blend of franc and merlot with French oak adds complexity, giving your home-brewed wine an in-house character that can evolve as it rests in your carboy.

What makes this kit stand out is the sourcing: ingredients come from the world’s top vineyards, chosen to deliver reliable base flavors and consistent texture. Each kit includes a wine base, brewer’s yeast, Bentonite, Sulphite, Sorbate, Chitosan, Kieselsol. Note that wine making equipment and bottles/labels are not included, so you can tailor a setup that fits your space and preferences.

Customization is where home winemaking shines. Fontana’s DIY kits include the essentials and invite you to experiment with add-ins. You can introduce oak or berry flavor packs to modulate color, aroma, and mouthfeel, then decide how long to age to refine the finish. The options are designed to be approachable yet flexible, letting you explore different profiles without starting from scratch.

With an award-winning pedigree, Fontana kits have earned accolades including more than 30 gold medals. That recognition speaks to consistency and user satisfaction across batches, whether you’re crafting a batch for a special occasion or a casual weekend project.

Gift the experience as well as the result. Fontana kits make thoughtful presents for holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. They’re ideal for anyone who enjoys the ritual of home fermentation and the payoff of sharing a bottle that was brewed with care.
