An apple/rasberry blend ( red rasberries) makes an awesome wine. I used about a 70% apple-30% rasberry on mine

That sounds good! Do you have a recipe for that?

Hannabarn....This is a recipe we like...

Raspberry is a pretty strong flavor....You could easily use more apple juice and half the raspberries I used.

That is a good thread! If that wine turns out anything like your green apple gewurtztraminer it will be awesome also. Thanks for the recipe. I have a friend with lots of red raspberry bushes and they said I can have all I want. Now just waiting for the season!

Good timing on these threads! I have a can of Vintners Harvest raspberry that I've been trying to decide what to do with - go straight raspberry wine or blend it either with grape or another fruit. The instructions say it makes a 3 gallon batch full bodied or a 5 gallon batch light bodied wine. If I added apple concentrate to it and aim for a 5 gallon batch would the 6 12oz cans NWhas in her recipe be enough?

6-12oz cans of frozen concentrate would be good...

Check SG before adding any sugar...

Keep records for next time and to share with us.

Thanks NW. I'll start a new thread with it as soon as I get it started.

NW,


I took a look at one of your earlier posts, but could not tell whether you make yours dry. Which do you prefer, dry or slightly sweetened? Thanks.
