blueberry and blackberry wine???

[Doober]

well, i racked the blackberry off of the gross lees after fermentation, sulfited and degassed. The wine is a light red color almost like a rose. there is a little fruit up front but other than that, it is pretty much like water. i quess time will tell if this wine will get any better.

Im a little surprised that it is that light judging by the amount of fruit to water. Were these blackberries very ripe and did you squeeze the bag of fruit to get all the juices out?

 

[Doober]

ya, fermented without a bagto 1.000, put in a bag and squeezed out all the juice it had in it. and ya the berries were very plump and ripe. maybe im still tasting the yeast and it is dulling out the flavor?

The flavoer will come through both with more time and even more if you sweeten your wine.
