The Sultana turned out much sweeter than I expected. Maybe I should Have added water in the beginning but anyway. I used EC1118 for both red and white so hopefully I can pull off the sparkling

Thank you for the detailed advice. Can I bottle the Sultana in 4-6 months and still make it sparkling by adding some dextrose to the bottles?

Do you recommend I wait longer before bottling? I plan to wait 30-40 days after the fermentation is over (hydrometer showing 1000) to allow the sediments to settle. Then I want to start bottling the wine. I wanted to use Gelatine to make a clearer product. Was wondering if I could add Gelatine...
