Mango wine

[DeadFall]

I noticed that Tesco's have a special on Rubicon mango juice, 8 litres for £6. My first thought, the only one a rational person would make, is I can make that into wine!

Mango is quite a robust juice, so I am going to add enough sugar for 14% abv. Would I need anything else (for a 15L batch)? I'm thinking that citic acid might be a good idea and maybe a litre or 2 of apple juice. Pectolase will definitely be used. Yeast will be a fruity red I think (I'll see what LHBS has on Monday lunchtime). Also a bit of cold tea for some tannins?

I used half a litre of that mango juice in a gallon of TC, fair amount of pulp to look forward to if making a wine from it. It does seem to go to the bottom nicely though so racking shouldn't be difficult.
I'd be tempted to sugar to 15% to allow for the racking losses.

I hadn't thought of the losses due to pulp, might have to buy a bit more juice and top up with apple or orange juice if needed. Looking forward to it, very different to my usual wines. No spare FVs at the moment, so will have to wait a week.
