Going to start a watermelon wine using watermelons I've grown. I have several melons (6 or 8), so more than I need. I'll probably use 2, at their size. I know about using Campden to sanitize the fruit and how to prepare it, but I'm looking for a good recipe that will give some good watermelon flavor when the wine matures. I'll have more watermelons later on if I need to add fresh juice down the line. The recipe I plan to use is this:
15 lbs. of watermelon
10 lbs. of sugar
2 tbsp. Yeast Nutrient
1/2 tsp. Pectic Enzyme
2 1/2 tbsp Acid Blend
1 1/2 tsp. Wine Tannin
1 Packet of Wine Yeast: EC1118
Does anyone have suggestions from a tried and true recipe that make not just a good, but a great wine?

I have not tried watermelon but I don’t think it carries a lot of flavor. I would be sure to add more after racking.

I specifically asked for a tried and true recipe, not 'I've never done it before, but in my very limited experience, what I think...".
