    Viognier style wine

    For 5 gallons
    5 litres grape juice
    5 litres apple juice
    7lb of sugar
    Pears 410g tin 225g net use both fruit and juice
    Peaches 410g tin 225g net use both fruit and juice
    Dried apricots 200g
    Heather honey 200g jar
    4 tea spoons of acid I used tartaric but citric will do
    5 tea spoons yeast nutrient
    5 tea spoons of pectolase
    5 tea spoons of bentonite

    Lalvin E1118 yeast

    Soak the dried apricots in apple juice overnight using juice from one of the cartons

    Dissolve the sugar and honey in warm water and allow to cool
    Blitz the apricots in a blender with the apple juice
    Blitz the two tins of fruit
    Dissolve the bentonite in a little water
    Add all the ingredients to your primary fermenter and top up to 5 gals with water
    OR add all the blitzed fruit to a straining bag
    Follow the instructions for wine number 3 from pitching the yeast

    Wine will need 6 months in the bottle to mature soften out and develop any nose

    does it taste like a Viognier? Yes. Just a very bold one.
    Life would be better if I could brew it as fast as we drink it!

    That looks like an interesting recipe to try, I might just have to give it a go.

    Thanks for putting it up.
