Why Connoisseurs And Home Brewers Are Fascinated With Durian Wine
January 12, 2024 | The Daily Meal |
Winemakers are increasingly turning to durian, the famously pungent fruit, to create unique and intriguing wines. While durian's smell is often likened to rotten meat or sulfur, fermenting the fruit into wine diminishes the infamous odor. Despite its divisive aroma, durian offers complex flavors described as sweet, creamy, custardy, and ranging from mango to cheesecake. The fruit's scarcity outside Southeast Asia makes it a unique choice for winemakers exploring new taste profiles. Durian wine involves the typical winemaking process, with added ingredients like lime or vanilla to enhance flavors.
