RJ Spagnols RQ Torrentes

[Dugger]

I just started my RJS RQ Torrentes and was surprised at two things - first, the must is very aromatic, almost perfumy, and not overly sweet and secondly the starting SG is about 1.097, which I find high for a white wine. The must was about 25*C and my hydrometer is calibrated at 20*C so this would affect it a bit.
I'm just wondering how this compares to others who have made this kit.

I haven't made it, but would like to. Keep us informed about how it goes.

 

[Dugger]

So has anyone made this? I'm just wondering if the very aromatic must is normal for this kit.

i know that white is supposed to be a little higher on the s.g.

 

[Dugger]

Yes, it's the highest OG I've ever had for a white (1.097).
The finished wine is supposed to be quite aromatic, but I've done aromatic whites before but the perfumey aroma of the juice has not been this pronounced.
