There are exceptions, but in general it is not recommended that you boil
fruit. It can impart a cooked taste to your wine. Some root are boiled and
maybe a few other things. Could you post what you are making?

boiling will make the wine mature faster however around 65 C for 5
minutes is usually enough.

Boiling at 65 C? You must live at a VERY high altitude! ;o)
