Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 3 kg grapes, preferably untreated

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Rest period approx. 3 days; Total time approx. 3 days 30 minutes

Juice the grapes cold, either using a screw press or a cheesecloth. Important: Do not break the seeds, as this will impair the flavor. 3 kg of grapes yield approximately 1.5–2 liters of fresh grape juice. Then pour the juice into a fermentation vessel, such as two empty, clean wine bottles. Leave some air at the top, seal the bottles, and fit them with an airlock/fermentation tube. No air should be allowed to enter the fermentation vessel from the outside, but excess air must be able to escape. Leave the bottles at room temperature and shake gently once a day to disturb the sediment. After a few days, small bubbles should form. The Federweißer is ready and will produce more and more alcohol the longer it is left to stand. Serve with a delicious onion cake or tarte flambée.
