Kit #2 - Sterling California Sauvignon Blanc
I started my second wine kit yesterday - a Cellar Craft Sterling California Sauvignon Blanc - for my sis. I'm meh about white wine, but this smelt incredible! I think I'll be keeping a few bottles for myself, for quality control, of course. I told sis I'm getting into wine making and that I'm making some for her, but she has no idea how much it makes. I can't wait to see the shock on her face at the amount. Teehee!
My plan is a 90 day fermentation instructions then bottle. I'll give her a case for her birthday (around Halloween, so 5 months after pitching the yeast) and another case at Christmas. That will leave me a few to taste.
How do you count the age of wine? From yeast pitch? From the end of secondary? From the original kit instructions (4-6 weeks)?
Must temperature: 75*F
SG: 1.090 (1.092 with correction)
Heavy French Oak chips.
