I made this kit back in the spring 2020 and bottled it at 3 months which is 3 short of when i usually bottle whites/rose. It was good enough for me to order an second kit. it was a lovely summer wine with a definite berry flavor. i now have my second kit aging so it will be bottled at 6 months for 2021 summer gazebo enjoyment. ( side note - i did not tweak it in any way)
