Default Acid level in desert wine

I want to make a Muscat Desert Wine using Alexander's Sun Country
Muscat Grape Juice Concentrate. I intend to use the method outlined in
the FAQ for rec.crafts.winemaking.

"To use the non-traditional method, adjust the sg by adding honey and
concentrate (usually 3 parts concentrate to 1 part honey) to the
desired alcohol yield. Ferment until dry. Stabilize the wine and
filter. After stabilization, add concentrate & honey to raise the sg
to about 1.050 (THIS IS NOT A TYPO). At this point proceed with normal
winemaking techniques (fining, cold conditioning, and it MUST be
filtered).

It is important to control the acid levels, especially when using the
concentrate feeding method, as concentrates are already acid balanced
for 23 litres."

I do not know what level of acidity I should shoot for when making
this type of wine. I don't know where to find this info either. I
need suggestions please.


Thanks,
