Report on Bolero Shiraz Kit
Summary: : ( It has had what I call a "very berry" taste- not too much unlike unsweetened Kool-Aid. I added both tannin and oak at ferment to no avail. Still Very Berry. Added more oak at secondary and again later. Bottled after 8 months. Still too berry, thin, not much bite. Very un-Shiraz. Brew shop advertised it as Shiraz grape must. Arrived as full 6 liter Grape Must no a concentrate. Brand: "Bolero" by RJ Spagnols. "Australian Style Shiraz" packaged as 23 Liter Sterile Bag in a pail. Didn't expect it to be a kit per se but it came with Sulfite, Sorbate, yeast, oak and Bentonite. Not too pleased as it cost $119 + tax (Missouri). Maybe body will improve after age? Any one here had experience with 6 liter grape juice from Spagnols? KB St. Charles, MO -- |
