Elderberries 500g — dried — are the pre-eminent home wine making ingredient for red wines. Elderberries are rich in tannins, flavour compounds, and deep purple colour that produce a wine of exceptional quality when made well. Arguably the finest fruit wine you can make in the UK.
For elderberry wine, ferment with GV11 Red Fruit Wine Yeast alongside Winemaking Sugar, Citric Acid, and Yeast Nutrient. Strain through Muslin Bags. See our Elderberry Wine Recipe for step-by-step instructions.
