Rich and luxurious, this garnet coloured wine has a brilliant bouquet of dark fruits with subtle hints of oak, vanilla and spices. The palate has strong plum and berry flavours balanced by moderate tannins provided by the GenuWine Winery Grape Skins and medium toast American oak chips.
En Primeur Winery Series showcases the expertise and commitment to carry on the age-old winemaking traditions as practiced in the finest grape growing areas of the world.
RJS wine kits have always been very good, I am in the fermentation stage and is taking more time to reach the SG required. It is normal that this happen some times for different reasons. I am sure that it will turn out very good.

RJS En Primeur Chilean Malbec Status
Wine is currently in the Stabilizing and Clearing Stage. Wine was very slow to complete Primary & Secondary Fermentation Stages….5 Days beyond the specified timing to get to 0.998 SG…possibly due to cooler than normal basement temperatures or old yeast?? Expect wine to be great upon 3-6 months post bottling aging.

Magnificent Malbec
A dark, fruity wine with notes of violets. Naughty but not impertinent.Best when aged at least six months.

So far, so good
I rarely know what to say for requested reviews like this one. In part that is because I am being asked to review a wine that I have not yet tasted. It is sitting in a 5 gallon carboy aging. I will battle it sometime soon. And then I will let it sit for at least two years before I drink it. I understand that not everybody can do that, but that is my normal procedure with red wines. The kit look fine and all the parts were there. I anticipate no problems. Given the pandemic, delivery was reasonably prompt. What else can I say?
