I have some of these grapes that I want to make wine for blending. Which yeast would be best for this grape? any suggestions?

I have a 1st year pruning question with Black Spanish. I am training the laterals down the cordon. I read that I should not allow it to take off down the cordon. If this is true at what point do I cut it short?

Thanks for the advice. The Fresh Market had them for sale.

I am in central North Carolina. I got these grapes from a grocery store. I will have to get some sort of concentrate

I have some carignan grapes I want to create some wine with. I have read that this grape is used in blending.

Is it recommended to blended finished wine or blend the juice before fermentation?

I am currently setting up my home garden trellis which is about 30' long. I do not need a 1/4 mile of wire. I do not want to pay shipping and looking locally for 12 gauge wire. Lowe's home improvement store has 12ga. galvanized wire in 100ft sections, but it states that its safe working load...

Thanks everyone. You have given me some ideas to try.

I am looking for advice for what fruit or juice to add to carignan grapes. I think I read that they are a bit high in acidity and that this grape is used in varietal wine.

Anyone out there know how Black Spanish would do in Raleigh, NC?

I am wanting to grow something beside muscadine type grapes. I live in the Raleigh, NC. Interested in your feedback.

I live in Raleigh, NC. I have been looking/studying for a wine grape I could grow in my yard that is not Muscadine or Scuppernong. Does anyone live in this area who has tried the Norton or Chambourcin or any others with success? thanks.

yeast types? Is there a particular yeast that works better for making a sweet or medium sweet wine with a higher alcohol percentage?

I am planning to check the SG in a couple of days to see the progress. I am sure it will be a great difference since I moved it and have witnessed the fermentation picking up.

thank you I am looking forward to seeing how this will turn out.

fermentation speeding up kind of late also after racking for the first time, I moved it to a warmer part of the house. since then, the fermentation has picked up drastically. Hopefully this late blooming will not harm the quality of the wine?

slow ferminting the wine appears to be making just a little bubles at the surface. Is it common for a sweet wine to be very slow in ferminting?

hello Greetings from North Carolina.

It was a white grape concentrate. I brought the sg to the minimum for making a sweet wine. I did not write down the starting sg. I added yeast nutrient and yeast. the yeast was just a basic wine yeast. I have never even attempted a sweet wine, so maybe this is normal.
