Jostaberry wine! Steam extracted juice from 9.5kg of berries. Dextrose (370g per gallon) added while juice is hot. When the juice cools it gets 1/4 tsp tannins, 1 tsp yeast nutrient, and 1.5g Bourgovin RC212 yeast (per 1 gallon carboy).

Rack to bottles in about 2 months.

First taste in one year.

Best taste develops over 3-4 years.

Jostaberry is a gooseberry crossed with a black currant. Grows well here.
