Ingredients

Method

With this recipe, we are moving to the Bordeaux region and attempting to imitate the beautiful, sweet wines.  The Barsac style is the lighter of the two and with this recipe the wine comes out with the acidity perhaps a little on the high side at 8-9g per litre.  This is fine though.
