Fruit & Flavourings for Home Wine Making
Our Fruit & Flavourings range covers the essential natural ingredients for country wine making and adding depth and character to home brew beer and cider. All available individually — pick exactly what your recipe calls for.
What's Available
- Elderberries 500g — the pre-eminent home wine making ingredient for red wines. Rich in tannins, colour, and complex dark fruit flavour. Essential for elderberry wine.
- French Oak Chips 30g — used in red wine making to impart a subtle oak aroma and flavour, as though the wine has been aged in cask. Add to secondary fermentation.
- Elderflowers 50g — dried elderflowers for making traditional elderflower wine or adding floral bouquet to white wines and meads.
- Dried Sloes 500g — ideal for sloe wine or sloe gin. The intensely tart, dark berry of the blackthorn bush, rich in flavour and colour.
- Liquorice Sticks — used in dark beers and stouts to add a subtle aniseed depth and extra body.
Pair any of these with Gervin GV11 Red Fruit Wine Yeast or GV5 White Fruit Wine Yeast for best results. Don't forget Pectolase when making fruit wines to prevent pectin haze.
