Draw a sample and add a bit of sugar to it. Should help it. Start with a small amount of sugar and add a little more til it tastes like you like it. Sometimes just letting the wine sit will bring it around. If you decide to sweeten the whole batch, remember to stabalize it or you mite wind up with the dreaded bottle bomb. Arne.

What varietal did you purchase?

Red or white.

7 months is early - if your TA levels are correct - i would suggest give it more time.

You may have to cold stabilize your wine. What grapes did you purchase?

Chardonay acid is right on maybe I will let it go longer

Sounds like this would have been a prime candidate for an Malo Lactic Fermentation.
