Mrs. Goldseal's 3rd wine.
This was a 6 bottle kit, similar to price and quality to Beaverdale. Nice, clear instructions, straightforward for a novice.
Unfortunately Mrs.G didn't follow them, and missed the 1.010 racking - it was already down to 0.995 when she checked
We decided to let it fement out, then rack. This doesn't appear to have adversely affected it, despit it sitting on quite a lot of lees for a couple of weeks.
It was bought to be early-drinking plonk, so we opened a bottle after a month. Nice, strawberry nose, dry, quite acidic, but lacking a bit of flavour at the moment.
We'll open another one in a month and update here.
