Bottling
Posted in Start Your Own Winery by Jeremy SavilleWe’ll be bottling on September 15th. This is the final step for Start Your Own Winery 2006. The numbers on the wine came out well. We have a free SO2 level of 22 parts per million, a good solid number for both drinkability and ageability, our PH is 3.65, also a good level for stability ( the lower the PH, the higher the acidity) and drinkability. Titratable acidity is .57 g/ ml, a good level for stability and acid balance and alcohol is 14.6%. That number is a little high, but with the elegance and fruitiness of the wine it is well integrated and balanced.
We’ll be starting our 2007 season on September 22nd with our initial trip out to the vineyard for our new (and return) Start Your Own Winery members, so keep your eyes peeled for new postings!
