Summer Wine

Our neighbors allowed us to glean their orchard this year, giving us more plums than we could eat or store, so we brewed them!



This brew has been bubbling non-stop since last October!



First we brewed Strawberry Guava wine and then we drank about 15 litres from the batch, managing to bottle 2 litres for a special occasion.

The end of the brew coincided with Citrus season this spring, so we decided to add 15 litres of Tangerine and Sweet Orange to the existing 5 litres of brew.

Once again we drank about 15 litres of this odd mix and bottled one litre.

Now, we have added 15 litres of plum juice and it is fermenting away.



Our first summer wine is amazing and going entirely too quickly during the festive atmosphere of summer on the island of Flowers.
