Looks great. How many pounds or gallons of muscadines did you use per gallon. Did last years wine smell and taste like muscadines. I;ve trued fir the last four years to make good muscadine wine and none of it smelled or tasted like muscadine. It was pretty good, but you couldn't tell what kind of wine it was. Thanks for any help on my maling of muscadine wine.

Also, did you use any water, if so how much?

Etb, I use no water, all noble muscadines and mine is fantastic. Deep inky red, taste like muscadines. My son says it has a wood taste but I don't taste it.
