Blackberry and Elderberry wine

Story location: Home / food_and_drink / wine /
19/Feb/2009

I've bottled our Blackberry and Elderberry wine. I started fermenting it back in October and it's been sitting in the demijohn since then, maturing.

After filling 6 bottles there was about a glass left over so we sampled it tonight. It's fairly light flavoured, unlike my first attempt at this wine which was really full bodied. It has a reasonable fruity taste. I'll leave it in the shed for a few months to mature, to see if it improves with age.

I used 2.4kg of fruit in total. I can't remember (and didn't write down) whether I used any grape concentrate or raisins. Next time, I'll either use more fruit or supplement it with some grape or apple juice to give it more body.
