- Bring the water to a boil
- Add the sugar, rose petals, grape juice concentrate, and juice of the lemon and stir well.
- When cold to 21°C, add the wine yeast and yeast nutrient
- Leave to ferment for one week, stirring daily, and keep closely covered
- Then strain into a Demijohn and ferment until finished
- A wine made this way will generally have a good colour if coloured roses are used. If less colour is required, the petals should be obtained from the liquor three days earlier
