So I've had great luck with past Cellar Craft Showcase collections, especially given some age. The Amerone remains my all time favourite kit and in spite of being a lighter body red, the Zweigelt is also excellent IMO. I figured I'd try one of the whites and so I started the Yakima Valley Riesling (used to read Johannisberg after the famed Rheingau region wine but I guess they dropped it after Im sure much confusion as to the grapes being from Germany, South Africa or USA, the latter being the case).
Anyway back to the point, quite excited about it but was surprised to find an F-Pack. I guess Its my first white kit to include one.
I have two concerns with this.
1) I love Rieslings but not because they are sweet, in fact I tend to favour slightly dryer Rieslings and I worry that this F Pack will make it overly sweet.
Any recommendations? How much Sweet it it add for others? Maybe only add half...
2) I notice a while layer on the bottom of the bottle, looks like wax or even crystallized honey...should it be there or has this flavour reserve separated in some way?
As always, thanks for the help
