Grape wine does not taste are smell like grapes and most other fruit will
work the same way. Is it fairly dry? Sometimes if you add some sugar the
fruit character will come back out. We associate peaches with sweetness and
without some sweetness the peach is just not there.
I will not say that I have tried this but if you decide to sweeten it a bit
you might get some peachs packed in heavy sugar and use the juice from the
can so sweeten with. Do not try to press the peaches, us only the juice.
Do not do this and bottle right away, you will get floaters. You will need
to let it clear again.
Remember that if you are going to sweeten, you must stabilize the wine.
Either filter with a fine filter that is designed to remove yeast (very
expensive) or use sorbate.
