Tasting notes: Rhubarb wine

Story location: Home / Blog / food_and_drink /
22/Feb/2009

The rhubarb wine has been sitting in the shed maturing for a few months so I thought it was ready to taste. It is a bit on the sweet side. I deliberately aimed to let the wine finish of slightly sweet - rhubarb needs some sugar to bring out the flavour and I thought a bone dry wine wouldn't work so well. It isn't as sweet as a dessert wine but it also doesn't have the depth of flavour of one either. It was a fairly cheap wine to make (the rhubarb was reduced at the supermarket) so it wasn't an expensive experiment. I think it's worth trying again with more rhubarb and less sugar.
