I just bottled on the Limited Edition Cellar Craft wines that give you
16L of juice/concentrate and a pack that has all the skins and seeds
and stems in the kit. It is a red Malec/Merlot kit.

I had some friends making the wine with me and we were tasting it
throught the process. After tasting it when after finings we found it
to be very rich and full bodied. After filtering and bottling, we
found that it was no longer like that. It seems to have lost some of
it's body and richness after filtering.

Would it have been better to have not filtered? Any suggestions would
be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rob
