Ive gone for a Connoseur Chardonnay (5 gal), a Butlers Sherry (1 gal) and a Butlers Port (1 gal)

Thought id see what they were like for Xmas.

Also thinking of trying my first turbo cider.

I have done a Connoser Pinot Grigio, followed the instructions to the letter, It finished fermenting realy quickly 8-10 days, by day 13 it had almosed cleared itself- before the finings were added.
2 month old now should be ready for x-mas

Isn't that a little fast? White wines are best after 12 months, reds after 24. The higher the alcohol content the longer maturing period is required. So maybe for next Christmas guys.

Hmmmm, i take your point about maturation and im sure your right......unfortunately, to the detriment of my tastebuds, my patience aint that good. :lol:

Why not save some of the batch for next year and drink the rest? Then you can make a new batch next year (if you like it this year) and do a taste test, matured Vs unmatured. Would love to hear the results (if you remember in 16 months)
