From my experience with making kit wines, whites, including Resling, should
be ready to drink in 6 - 12 months. But maybe yours will take a bit longer.
I have had good luck with Spagnoles Johannesberg Reisling and
Gewertztraminer.
As far as the strawberry, I have never tasted a dry strawberry that I liked
and I prefer dry wines. The best strawberry I ever had was one that was so
sweet that I could not drink it. Could not think what to do with it. Then
I got the idea - how do you eat sweet strawberries? Strawberries and cream
of course. So I cut it with 50% cream and everyone loved it. Sugar will
cover many faults. So if nothing else, you can sweeten it and use it as a
desert wine.
