Kiwi Fruit WineOrigin: British Period: Traditional |
Ingredients:This is a rather wonderful and unusual wine that I fell in love with the first time I tried it!
2kg Kiwi Fruit 
Method:PreparationPeel and chop the fruit then add to a fermenting bucket along with the sugar. Boil the water and add to the fruit then cover with cheesecloth and leave overnight. The following day add the tannin, pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and yeast. Cover with cheesecloth and leave for a week to ferment, ensuring that you give the mixture a stir with a sterilized metal spoon once each day. Strain through your nylon straining bag, squeezing out the last of the juice then pour into your fermenting jar (filling only to the shoulder) and fit a cork and fermentation lock (reserve the remaining liquid and store in the fridge). When the fermentation has become less vigourous (about a week) top-up to the neck with the remaining liquid. Rack into a new fermentation bottle after about a month adding a crushed campden tablet. Leave for about six months, racking monthly then about a week before bottling add 1/4 teaspoon potassium sorbate and 1 campden tablet. At then end of the week rack into bottles. Once corked, leave the kiwi fruit wine in a cool dry place for at least three months before tasting or six months for best results. I have given only basic instructions on making this wine here. For more detailed results please see my page on basic white wine brewing. |
