This was my third version of a Raspberry wine. I made 5.5 gal of wine using 54 lbs of fruit and 13 lbs of sugar (there was no water added). I ended up bottling this back in July 2022 so it's been in bottles for over three years now which is hard to believe.
These are tasty but I don't end up reaching for them very often. I am excited to finally be capturing some tasting notes
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma:
- Jammy raspberry with booze and a bit of a funky yeast character
- Appearance:
- Dark red/purple. Too dark to tell if it is clear
- Flavor:
- Strong raspberry flavor followed by booze. It has a milt tartness and finishes slightly sweet
- Mouthfeel:
- Medium light bodied and a little sticky on the pallet
- Overall:
- This is a very flavorful and nice drinking wine. The sweetness balances the fairly firm alcohol presence nicely
