I'm chasing a certain unwanted taste in my bramble wine, but really not sure even what to call it, let alone get rid of it!
The best I can describe it is 'earthy', like what the seeds would taste like if you chewed them perhaps. I'm wondering if it's because we just threw the whole lot in the bucket and left it to ferment for a week or two instead of filtering out the seeds and pulp nearer the start, or maybe I need to put some grape concentrate or pineapple juice in or something?
We've made it two years running now and it always gives the same aftertaste and I can't find out anymore about it, we just followed the usual basic recipes you can easily find online. Maybe it's supposed to be like this?
