Crab Apple wine

[PierreR]

So yesterday I racked my crabapple wine, (along with a Saskatoon, and a Valpolicella) Got to taste (of course!!) and check the SG. 0.982! Huh! So I did the calc based on original SG of 1.105, that's 16.7%! Did a little testing, back sweetened a little to .992. Boy is that nice! Not what I would call dry, but not sweet either, just knocked the edge off it, with the apple flavor front and center. This is gonna be quite nice I think!

Crab Apple is also a great wine to blend with apple, pear, Niagara, Chardonnay and other wines. The acid really enhances some of these other wines.

@Runningwolf Thaanks for that tip, I'll keep it in mind for sure.
