#19 – Mango

Bottled (23) 325ml and (11) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 18.25% ABV on 15 April 2012.

After the high-octane results with my first mango wine were running low, I decided to try again with something a bit more refined — even if it is still “up there” in alcohol content.  Instead of leaving bone-dry, I finished to taste which helps bring out the mango flavor with a just a hint of sweetness.

Revisited the 2013 reserve bottle on 8 March 2014.  The wine is very clear, little-to-no sediment at all, and a bright yellow color.  Not much on the nose, but it’s a delight on the tongue — perhaps a bit similar to a riesling, but with a tropical twist!
