Fruit Forward Beaujolais Style Wine

I bought this kit in November of 2021. Following the kit's directions, I ended it up with a fruit forward wine that was not sweet based on its final specific gravity of 1.000 but would better be described as off dry. The light bodied wine is just what I had hoped it would become and appeals as an after dinner wine or a wine for relaxing on the lanai. I let it age one year before its initial serving.
