This is what I did this year, I found the Chocolate raspberry kit is too strong in chocolate, but blend with a Raspberry Port (from fruit) it give the right amount of chocolate for my taste and you get twice more bottles.

I new this was coming


Raspberry Port (23 Litre)


43 Lbs of Raspberry (in a train bag)
4 Cups of red grape concetrate (for complexity,I use a cheap wine kit, this yearit isa Cab)
5 tsp of Yeast Nutrient
3 tsp Pectin Enzyme
Acid:8 g/l
9Bananas (for body)
Starting SG: 1.20




I do press the fruit (with bananas)with a grape press, I know some poeple gently squiz the bag, but my wine does not get bitter. I also add Oak ships during clearing. My finish SG is 1.020 after fortify with 84 % alcohol, final alcohol is 20%.
Got a couple of silvers with this recipe
 
A press usually only makes wine bitter when thereis seeds in there getting pressed. That recipe looks very good!
