Hey everyone,
I got it in my head to develop what I hope shall become my signature wine. The staple by which I judge all others and share readily with guests. I have decided on the name Triforce. I admittedly stole this from my favorite childhood game, The Legend of Zelda. Anyway, the wine will be a three way blend of cranberry, concord, and blueberry. I would like the fruitiness of the concord and blueberry to be balanced by a noticeable cranberry tartness. I would also like this wine to be oaked. I have access to 100% blueberry and cranberry juices and will use those. As for concord I might have to use Welch's concentrate. I figure 13.5 % ABV is good to shoot for. What ratio of juices would you use to achieve a wonderful wine that has elements of each ingredient, but as a whole tastes like none of them individually. Also, considering the ingredients what type of oak (French or American) and level of toast would you use? Thanks again everyone. And good luck questing for spiritual stones!
