Beaverdale Chardonnay - 6 Bottle Wine Kit
Beaverdale Chardonnay – 6 Bottle Wine Kit
Looking to dip your toe into winemaking without going all-in on a full batch?
This Beaverdale Chardonnay kit makes around 4.5 litres – that’s six standard bottles – of classic, dry white wine with zero added sugar needed.
Just add water and follow the simple steps.
It’s ideal if you're short on space, just starting out, or testing the waters with small-batch home winemaking.
This is one of the UK's original all-grape juice wine kits, so you're working with real fermented grape must here – no cheap shortcuts.
Chardonnay Wine Kit – Taste Profile
This one’s dry and well-balanced, with more depth than your average kit Chardonnay.
Expect ripe apple and subtle peach notes, with a smooth mouthfeel and a touch of creamy oak in the background.
The medium body gives it a bit of weight without making it heavy.
It’s not buttery or over-oaked — just enough to round it out and make it feel a bit more “grown-up” in the glass.

A Winemaker’s Tip
Even though it's a small batch, don’t skip degassing after fermentation – especially if you’re planning to bottle early.
CO₂ can stick around and mess with clarity and taste. A good stir and a couple extra days resting makes a noticeable difference.
And if you’ve got fridge space, cold crashing for a few days will help it clear beautifully.
