Reserve Du Chateau 4 Week Wine Kit, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, 17.5-Pound Box

Reserve Du Chateau 4 Week Wine Kit, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, 17.5-Pound BoxThis is a fruity, light, and slightly sweet wine that is a surprise to everyone who tries it. The kit is complete with corks, labels and shrink caps. The instructions are clear and fairly straight forward. This is a great one to subscribe to--I get mine every six months, alternating with the Cabernet Sauvignon for a nice contrast. Highly Recommended.

I cannot say anything about the final product but it was ordered and arrived at my home in record time. Nice packaging and everything was in the box. I put it together in the primary and will now just wait. I have been making wine for a while and this will be my first kit.*UPDATE* Okay, since making my review I have finished and bottled the wine. We made our own wine labels. The wine ended up a very, very clear light gold. Beautiful finish with the typical Sauvignon Blanc nose. The wine has the green taste of a new wine which I do not expect to last long as whites age it out quickly. This was an excellent purchase for the price. I have just ordered the Sangiovese kit and will be attempting it next.

I ordered the Sauvignon Blanc in two styles, Ontario and New Zeland. I was surprised when I got the kits and opened them up. I have made about 20 of the Vino Italiano wine kits. These kits are identical with the same labels, ingredients,corks,packaging. The only difference is these kits are 17.5 lbs. The labels just say Sauvignon Blanc and do not specify the types. These kits are also 8 10 dollars more. I have made the Vino Italiano Sauvignon Blanc wine kit and thought it was great. I wondered why I was not able to find the kit again, and now I know why.

I hope this wine is just as great and will be interested to see if there is any noticeable difference in the two kinds. Thought this might be helpful to others as the Vino Italiano kits have been such a great value and it appears that the Reserve Du Chateau and Vino Italiano are maybe one in the same.

Will let you know how the wine tastes.

Thank you for writing this review. I too have made the Reserve Du Chateau New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. I made my kit to 5 gallons, allowed it to bulk age for 10 months, increased the acidity after testing, filtered using the Vinbrite Filter System, and finally bottled last week. The light golden color, light fruity and slightly sweet characteristics are almost identical to your end product. However, my Sauvignon Blanc did not have the lemon/lime, grassy nose typical of the New Zealand style. For the price I cannot complain, but maybe my standards are too high. I was hoping my meticulous process and patience during aging would make the difference. With that said, you can't beat the value and pride and comes from making your own wine!
