After harvesting Concord grapes from my parents vine, yes one single plant at least 25 years old, I just bottled my first "fresh" grape wine.
I had 21 lbs, more went to jelly, of grapes and got around just shy of 3 gallons of juice out of it. I did a simple dry recipe but when it took it off the skins, I split into 3 different gallon jugs.
One was plain, dry. Very tasty
Another was blended with a strawberry juice (from frozen strawberries). Outstanding!
And the last I added a handful of light oak chips. It's the best yet!!
I have a total of 13 bottles now sitting and collecting dust to age. Cant wait!! Already planning next years harvest.
