It looks & sounds like my kind of drink! I may have to look harder at wine making! Waiting is the hardest part.
It does take a long time no doubt about that.
I've read wine made with grapes using natural yeast already present on the skins take a very long time...
Racked 1 week after starting
Racked 4 weeks after first racking
Racked every 3 months after that (three times)
For an estimated total of 10 months and 1 week before its even bottled. Then cellar aged minimum of 1 year before sampling.
I don't think I have that level of commitment for a grape wine. I'll stick with fruits and berries for now - thank you very much
