Grape Futures (13) - The Taste


Finally, the taste.

Rather reminiscent of a Vin Doux Naturel from Roussillon in France or Mavrodaphne of Patras in Greece.

Some residual sugar...Not much acidity

An agreeable 'rancio' taste, with a bit of raisin and candied fruits.

Improvements would be possible by having more grapes to start with (more volume to slow everything down), temperature control of fermentation (it was a bit hot while the juice was fermenting) and more control (sugar, acidity) in general.

Not bad for a first effort.
