Making peach wine

[nickallen]

I have a pail of grape juice(the kind that when you open the lid fermentation begins)and a 3lb 1oz can of vintners harvest peach purée. If I want to make peach wine do I add this at the very beginning and I one can of the peach enough or do I need two. Please let me know anything I need to ad and what I should look for any info is greatly appreciated.

Do you have the usual:

Sugar
Hydrometer
pH meter
Acid tester
KMS
Acid blend ( just in case)
Pectic enzyme
Yeast nutrient
The usual?

How much wine are you making?

 

[nickallen]

Well it is a 6 gallon pail of juice and according to the instructions on the pail it says just open lid and fermentation starts.

What kind of juice?

 

[nickallen]

Cabernet..

 

[Julie]

a cabernet sauvignon? I kind of wonder if peach would taste good in that. IMO, I would hang onto the peach and buy a reisling or chardonnay and add the peach to that.

And I would ferment to dry, stabilize and add the peach then as a flavor pack. (f-pack)

Peach blend????????????????

I AGREE WITH THE ABOVE STATEMENT PEACH IS NOT A NATURAL PARTNER IN TASTE WITH RED WINES AS A RULE,TELL ME WHAT GAVE YOU THAT IDEA AND OR IS IT THAT YOU HAVE THIS PRODUCT SITTING AROUND AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT ,JUST CURIOUS????

Agree with Julie and Joe. A Chardonnay, or Sauv Blanc would be my first thoughts.
