Violet color. Aromas and flavors of cranberry-blueberry relish, herbal sage mint tea, and hints of menthol and eucalyptus with a slightly chewy, tangy, fruity medium body and a smooth, distinctive, long finish that shows notes of fresh picked blueberries, hints of baking and Asian spices, and blueberry balsamic with chewy, fruit tannins and no oak flavor. A brilliantly pure and flavorful blueberry wine with a fine, not-too-sweet balance and style.

Fruit wines, produced in many countries, are fermented alcoholic beverages made from fruit or even herbs and flowers. There are dozens of types of fruit wines, ranging from apple, strawberry and peach to elderberry, rhubarb and dandelion.

May of these are quite sweet, although some, such as pineapple, are rather dry. As many of these fruits are very high in acidity and would produce a wine that would be too acidic for most tastes, water is often added during the production process to create a less tart sensation. Alcoholic contents range from 10% to 16% or so.

Fruit wines are made for immediate pleasure, generally enjoyed on their own at a picnic or backyard barbecue.
