The bottling commences!

Who would have believed that we would get this far! The good news is that the wine looks fantastic, and there was very little sediment left. The bad news - it tastes even worst than it did in February. However, Paul the builder, who knows everything, said " it is very well rounded and smooth, I think the acidity taste will mature away in the bottle".

Can't say fairer than that then!




Bottling it was easier said than done - needs two people to get the flows right, and strong boy's arms to get the corks in!

...and using her serious photoshopping skills - my sister drafted a wine label for us!

I am promised a new winery for next September, Dave Brown was feeding the power to it a few weeks ago, and guess what I'm going to do - yep - the Winemaking Intensive course at Plumpton in September - you never know maybe I will get a merit (again!). And hopefully will learn what on earth we did (wrong?) this year.




Meanwhile back in the.....yikes the roof is all finished!!!!!
