First Wine of 2012
The first wine of 2012 has just been bottled ready for Christmas. Success was not as simple as I thought using the shop brought juices. The white wine was too dry, the red wine too sweet. The answer to my problem was mixing them to make a very drinkable ’Rose’ with a ratio of 1 part red to 2 parts white. This is the first time I have tried mixing fruit wines and it is something I would recommend any home vinters to give a try. I have decided to call this batch ‘Ty Ni’ which is welsh and means ‘My Home’, within its unique taste it also captures the memory of the move into our new home this year.
I had surplus red to make two full bottles of ‘Sherry’ by fortifying it with Brandy. It’s only 10 in the morning, I should put down the glass already…
