Racked
Shahrokh and Esteban racked the 2012 ‘LH Syrah. They started with:
- 60 gallon barrel
- 15 gallon barrel
- 5 gallon carboy
When finished they had:
- 60 gallon barrel
- 15 gallon barrel
- 2-3 gallons for glass
Not yet sure what they did with it.
They sulphited 25 ppm:
- 60 gallon barrel: 100 mL 10% solution
- 15 gallon barrel: 25 mL 10% solution
- not sure what they did with the extra wine
They also splashed the wine heavily, as their was some reductive nose going on. I tried a little Cu in a glass, and it cleaned right up. We will wait a few days, and recheck it. If it needs to bu copper fined, we will do it right away and rack again in a few days.
