Hi brewers,
I bottled my first ever batch of elderflower just now. I have only been making wine a year and this is my 4th batch of wine. This one tastes sharp, dry. My girlfriend says it tastes like white wine that has been left out overnight. This was the only wine I added tannins to (accidentally emptying the contents of two tea bags instead of 2 cups of tea into the mix). It was also the only batch I ever had to add Finings to.
Any idea why is tastes like this? Will it get less sharp with age?
Any thoughts most appreciated.
Ross
