To while away the evenings at New Word Alive, I also took a bottle of my untried parsnip wine. Whilst the less discerning went off to hear some naff christian band each night, the rest of us piled into our chalet to crack open the homebrew.
Was quite surprised when I opened the parsnip wine though - it had gone fizzy! That wasn’t supposed to happened. Proabably due to a malolactic fermentation -if you are a bit lax with sterilisation, a second fermentation can take place in the bottle and carbonate it. Can cause all sorts of problems but occassionally it can lead to some very pleasant result. And that was certainly the case this time – everyone loved it! Result.
A nice sparkling white (well, kind of orangey in colour…)
