I’m thinking of harvesting a local bush of Japanese quince (Chaenomeles Japonica) and make a small batch of fruit wine. Since they have a very strong citrus flavor, I’m thinking to lean in on it and make something like a very sour apertif.

I’ve made wines before but it was ages ago with good results, some fruit wines and kit wines, but nothing similar to this.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Should it be combined with some sweet fruits or raisin maybe? Any particular yeast better suited than others? Or some recipe idea as a starting point?

Cheers!

    I read somewhere that they are better to use in mix with apples for cider. Unfortunately I dont have any near me so never I tryed them.

    Also this year all apples fel from the trees I have for cider so no cider this year.
