The rewards and frustrations of home winemaking

Bottling Sauv Blanc

Time to bottle the sauvignon blanc that had the battonage treatment.ย  That added another 6 weeks of waiting to the kit, Iโ€™m very curious how this wine will compare to the โ€œuntreatedโ€ kit.ย  I will let these bottles wait for about 3 months before doing a side-by-side, to give it as much of a fair chance as possible. Tasting notes from day of bottling: Very vegetal, sharp nose. Did filter, so very clear, pale gold in color. Very mellow on the tongue, difficult to pinpoint specific flavors today. A more creamy mouthfeel than with the previous kit. This one will probably need a few months in the bottle to really develop.
