New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc look-a-likey?

[deebee1901]

Hi guys

My favourite commercial wine is New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Has anyone got a recipe that results in a similar wine?

Many thanks. :thumb: xx

From the WOW recipe thread, can't say if it's any good or not as I haven't made it myself but it is something I'd like to try one day: http://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/showpost.php?p=399309&postcount=52

Thank you so much Graz. Sound do-able for a newbie like me ... except what's inverted sugar? and when he says top up ... does he mean with water as there's no water mentioned in the recipe? x

I'm not sure if they meant inverted sugar as most of us just use white granulated in our wines. Here's what inverted sugar is, easy enough to make some: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_sugar_syrup

No idea if that poster is still on here but might be worth dropping them a message to ask.

And yes, top up with water, normally not listed in the recipe as it's assumed.

1 ltr WGJ
1ltr Pineapple - not from concentrate
1 ltr apple juice
700g sugar
pectolase
cup of strong tea
juice of 1 lemon
nutrient
GV9 Champagne Yeast
Juice (no pips) of 3 passion fruits

Given the lack of WGJ around at the moment, what could I substitute this with? And does it have to be Champagne Yeast?
