After 11 months in a carboy, I bottled the FWK Australian Red Blend. It's a nice smooth red and I have even higher hopes in a few more months in the bottle. I added French oak medium plus, and 3 small peppercorns to give the wine some spicy notes. The smaller bottles 375ml could be used for gifts to my family or just for me on those occasions I only want two glasses.

Looks very nice. Great job on the labels.

The 375 ml bottles are handy for monitoring the progress of the vintage. You can get an idea of how it is aging by opening a 375 at 6 months and one at a year.

The fall FWK sale started on Monday and today my order arrived ..... time to make wine for 2025!

Ever since FWK first came out I was a big fan and made quite a few. Today I did my three month racking on a WineXpert Private Reserve Italian Colosso kit. Even at three months, IMO this wine is fantastic. Beyond fantastic! I will say the kit was expensive $203 off the shelf with no shipping. Got me to thinking I would rather make one of these instead of two cheaper varieties.

I've made three of the WE Reserve kits but not the Private Reserve and after a year I was more than satisfied with WE reserve. Are you "done" with FWK?

Not sure. I’ll watch their prices. Didn’t buy during this last sale because quite frankly, they don’t feel like sale pricing.
