I have the peach frutta still to make and thinking about mixing it with one of my Sauvignon blancs in a 50/50 blend. I'll test before I mix the whole thing.

I did it as a all-grape batch and prior to committing tasted all kinds of pinotage from my local store at several price points. I liked it as a commercial wine but my batch had H2S. Had to use redulees on it, added all manor of oak, aged it, and it sucked the whole time. I've only dumped two...

Your experience may be better, but I had a batch of bad SA pinotage so that's one I tend to avoid. I would do Australian shiraz, chilean malbec, and SA sauvignon blanc. For the reds, I'd add some skins or whole grapes to add complexity.

I would use sorbate with the juice.

Love the Finer Wine Kits! I have made four batches of their Sauvignon Blanc with good luck. They're sold by Label Peelers.

We made bagels over spring break as well, here's the recipe. The best ones were the Parmesean ones.

No pictures, but we figured out how to make soft pretzels over spring break! Here's the pretzel recipe: Classic Soft Pretzels We had them with stone ground mustard and made a cheese sauce, too.

Another option would be to do Olive Garden wine, which is Montepulciano that is sweetened and served chilled. https://labelpeelers.com/wine-making/wine-kits/reserve/reserve-italian-montepulciano-10l-wine-kit/

Taste the wine to figure that out - that's something that's depending on how oaky you like it to taste.

Hi @jmadera83, the process is to ferment all the way, then add k-meta and k-sorbate, then you can add sugar to sweeten.

Fine lees is okay to have without racking. Gross lees, thick sludge from fermentation, is what I rack off of. I bulk age and don't rack, just add k-meta every three months, then rack for bottling.

My pick would be the FWK sauvignon blanc, as I have made and consumed 60 bottles of that and know it is really good.

The other option would be to put it in a frdge.
