Hi there,
I'm looking for some advice to help me blend some wines that I have waiting to be bottled. I have 5 gallons of crabapple and 1 gallon of banana that have both been aging in their respective carboys for about 9 months. The last time I had a taste of either, neither of them were particularly delicious. The crabapple seemed very acidic, and I don't know how to describe the banana. I am by no means a wine expert, and have very little knowledge about blending or achieving desired levels of body or dryness or acidity. I am wondering if anyone out there has blended these 2 particular wines, and if so what ratios did you use? I am contemplating just mixing them 5:1 crabapple:banana as that's what I have available, and figure it will help add body to the crabapple wine without altering its flavor too much. I would probably sweeten it somewhat if it is still as acidic as the last time I tasted it. Any advice or info on blending these 2 would be much appreciated. TIA Simon. |
