World Vineyard (Size: 236.7 KB)

Supple and slightly buttery, with aromas of peach and mango with layers of toast and spice, this wine lingers on the palate in a vanilla-laden oak finish. . Extremely versatile with foods, this is the ‘red wine’ of white wines, combining beautifully with grilled pork, chicken, fish, salads and cream-based pasta sauces.

Too Sweet Review by JR (Posted on 8/4/11): Product Rating:

Tried this one twice. Should have learned my lesson after the first one. Both times it stopped fermenting at SG 1.006 creating a too sweet Chardonnay.

Have used Vintners Reserve Chardonnay kits and they worked fine.

Reported this to Midwest and they did nothing but imply it was my fault.

Same thing happened to me
Great Review by Bob (Posted on 8/22/11): Product Rating:

This one turned out great for me. Fermented completely. Only problem was it went too fast. Have made the Chardonnay/Torrontes with great results as well. I have tried many of these kits and have never been disappointed.
Turned out excellent Review by John Bushell (Posted on 4/1/12): Product Rating:

I didn't have any problem with the fermenting process, however, it did take a couple of days longer than most other kits I've made. It was probably due to the fermenting area being a little cooler than normal. The wine cleared good and I've gotten complements on it's taste. So I'm satisified and would purchase it again.
Consistently good Review by OldSalt (Posted on 12/10/12): Product Rating:

I have made many batches of this wine and they were all consistently good.

Improved on the instructions, though:
Day 1: start in primary bucket (I add 2 oz of american oak in addition to the french oak provided)
Day 5: transfer to 6 gallon glass carboy with airlock
Day 20: fine and stabilize
Day 40: rack to better bottle carboy with airlock
Day 90: bottle

Never fails for me.
Fairly good, maybe a little on the sweet side Review by Sanjay (Posted on 2/2/13): Product Rating:

It has a ripe melon flavor and we like it. The oak adds another dimension to the taste. I used yeast nutrient to make sure it fermented properly. I would make this kit again.
Pretty nice wine Review by Jude (Posted on 2/15/13): Product Rating:

Maybe a little on the sweet side, but overall it came out nice, and I like how teh oak flavor came through. I've tried a few of these kits and have never been disappointed.

This is a very fruity wine.... I taste peach in mine. The kit is easy to brew. Just be sure to let it age for about 4 months before drinking.
