How does the addition of plums change the flavor profile of wine?
Plums are a fruit that are closely related to cherries and peaches. They have a sweet, yet tangy taste that can add a unique flavor to wine. Plums are often used in dessert wines, but can also be used in dry red and white wines. When adding plums to wine, it is important to add them during the fermentation process. This will allow the plum flavors to fully integrate into the wine.
How long does plum wine take to ferment?
Most plum wines ferment for about two to three months, depending on the sugar content of the fruit. Higher sugar content means a longer fermentation process. For instance, a wine made with completely ripe fruit will ferment more quickly than one made with underripe fruit. Additionally, the ripeness of the fruit also affects the alcohol content of the finished wine. More ripe fruit will result in a higher alcohol plum wine.
