Mango Mint Bottled

[jeepbabe]

My husband and I bottled our third kit- OB Mango Mint. I love mint especially drinks like Mojitos so I thought this would make a great summer wine. We added two pounds of corn sugar to bump the alcohol to a little over 9 %. We filtered the wine before bottling. I was surprised that it didn't have the mint kick I wanted however we added some fresh mint from our herb garden and it was really good...almost like a mojito.

I will put the labels on later but for now here is my wine.

This is the Mango Mint right after degassing.

After filtering and racking to the bucket for bottling. I forgot to take a "before" picture.

30 full bottles plus a little left-over for samples.

Today we racked/degassed an OB Black Cherry Pinot Noir:

We also started the White Chocolate Port today:

We are also starting a Gruner Veltliner tomorrow- one of my favorite wines! I am very excited!

That looks terrific! This is on my wish list and I want to add a bottle or 2 of coconut rum to bump up the alcohol.
