Holy moly, long time no post.
With the summer new wine party not happening this June we've let the wine cruise in it's carboys. But we're getting ready to taste & bottle and potentially make way for a batch of 2017 reds. 2 days ago we picked up corks and more clear bottles from Pagano at Brooklyn Terminal Market and put a couple of carboys up on the racking shelf. Gird yourself.
Afternoon & 10 gallons bottled. Zero sediment in the carboys. Good tasting chardonnay. No metabisulfites added - the wine was at about 15 ppm and I let it ride. Some bottles got more aerated than I would have liked, but so it goes.
I did not taste the CB that was questionable back in the spring: will do so. There's also a 3 gallon CB, which might be begging to become vermouth...
