Dried Fruit, Botanicals & Oak Chips

Dried fruit, flowers, botanicals and oak for country wines, beers and gin - elderberries, sloes, elderflowers, juniper, gin botanical blends and French oak chips. Add them to the must or fermenter for real fruit and floral character, or use oak chips to give wine an oaked, barrel-aged note.

Buying guide
  • Elderberries and dried sloes - classic country wine fruit with deep colour and plenty of natural tannin.
  • Elderflowers - the base for elderflower wine and a floral lift in pale beers and cider.
  • Juniper berries and gin botanical blends - for flavouring gin at home.
  • French oak chips - add to red or white wine during or after fermentation for an oaked style; taste regularly and remove when it is right.

Fruit and flowers are best used with pectolase and yeast nutrient for a clear, healthy ferment. See all mead, elderflower and country wine kits.
