Simon,
I don't have any experience blending these wines, but I will give you
my basic blending method. I take a graduated cylinder (100ml) and I add
proportional amounts of each wine and put that into a glass which I label.
For example I would add 75 ml of Apple and 25 ml of Banana to get a 3:1
ratio. I then conduct a tasting and we choose the wine we like best. I then
extrapolate this amount over into either bottle or carboy amounts to achieve
the ratios.
I also use a similar method for determining sweetness. Let's say I
start with 80ml of wine, add 20 ml of sugar syrup and achieve the sweetness
I desire. I can take a specific gravity and know exactly how sweet we want
to make the wine. You can also just take the 20 ml and multiply it by your
volume such as 7.5 for a 750 ml bottle to add this amount to each bottle.
( I use a plastic syringe to add the wine to the cylinder, or sometimes
individual bottles for small batches) HTH
