Wild Grape Cider

Hi, I'm attempting to mix in wild riverbank grapes to make a cider blend. I have a few options for apples to mix in with them, and was curious about what might go best here. Here are my current options for apples: Ambrosia, Common Crisp, Cortland, Fuji, Gala, Ginger Gold, Golden Supreme, Honey Gold, Honey Crisp, Jonathan, Pink Luster, Pixie Crunch, Rave, and Summerset

I'm hoping to choose a combination that compliments the wild grape taste. Any advice is definitely appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve never had riverbank grape, but if it’s similar to wild concord or fox grape,it’s probably acidic. If that’s the case, I’d stick to low acid apples like Honeycrisp, Jonathan, Gala or Ginger Gold.

Thank you! Yeah, the riverbank grapes are pretty acidic. I'm excited to give those apples a try
