Tropical Fruit Wine

[KaptKanga]

Glad to be in this esteemed group.

Is anyone else making wine from tropical fruits? I have made pineapple and banana wine and i am now about to delve into Cashew Apple wine. Has anyone done this ?

Welcome to WMT!

Lots of tropical fruit makers here. Although I would wager not many making wine from the fruit of the cashew apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cashew). I myself was surprised about 10 years ago to learn about how cashew nuts are formed, and about the fruit that comes with it!

Wine can be made from virtually any vegetable matter, so Cashew Apple should work. If you like the taste of the fruit, the wine should be fine.

I had to look up cashew apples. Wikipedia provides a basic overview.

There is also an old thread on the forum.

Welcome to WMT from a fellow fruit wine maker. All wines start as a pH balanced fruit juice and in the last few years tannins (natural antioxidants) wind up in many.

Yeah I was very doubtful about banana wine until I made a batch, and it is surprise. I was told to try cashew apples as they make a very good wine so lets see.

Thank you, I used to get my tanin but adding a super strong liter of black tea but I think cashew apples are dry enough in the taste to not need it. However I am tempted to still add the 1 liter of fresh orange juice to boost the acidity.
