I've been making wine from grapes since 2011. I add Camden and yeast, but that is about it other than oak chips. I let it sit in the demijohn's for almost a full year before bottling, and rack around 4 times during the year. I don't add anything before bottling.
I have Shiraz, Cabernet, and Chardonnay in the cellar. The reds have been good on bottling day. I have recently tasted the Cab from 2012, and it's very good. The white has a slight off taste that I can't figure out, and I do not make that much of it.
My question is about how long these bottles can age before going bad. I am happy to let them age for several years, but I don't want to end up with several gallons of bad wine before I can enjoy it.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks:
Jon
