Beaverdale Malbec - 6 Bottle Wine Kit
Beaverdale 6 Bottle Wine Kit - Malbec
The Beaverdale 6 Bottle Malbec kit lets you craft a seriously impressive red wine at home — even if you’ve never made wine before.
Known for its deep colour, bold flavour, and firm structure, this Malbec delivers rich plum and blackberry notes, balanced with hints of violet and delicate spice.
Full-bodied, fruity, and velvety on the finish — exactly what you’d expect from a classic Malbec.
It’s a small-batch kit (makes around 4.5L or 6 bottles), perfect for first-timers or anyone short on space.
You just add water and follow the instructions — no sugar or extra ingredients needed.
It’s ready in about 4 weeks and genuinely stacks up against commercial bottles.
What’s It Taste Like?
Deep blackberry and ripe plum flavours take centre stage, supported by subtle floral (violet) notes and a gentle touch of spice.
It’s a structured, full-bodied red with muscular tannins and a smooth, velvety finish.
Long, fruity, and complex — the kind of wine that gets better with a bit of time in the bottle.

Winemaker’s Tip
It’s totally drinkable at 4 weeks, but if you can stash a few bottles away for 2–3 months, the tannins mellow out and the fruit becomes even more integrated.
For added complexity, consider aging on a small French oak spiral or adding a touch of grape skin tannin during fermentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to add sugar?
No. The kit includes concentrated grape juice with enough natural sugars to ferment fully — no need to add anything but water.
Is this a good kit for beginners?
Yes. Beaverdale kits are user-friendly and very forgiving. You’ll get excellent results even on your first try.
Can I age this wine?
Absolutely — it improves with a few months in the bottle. The structure and tannin give it good aging potential for up to a year or more.
