Topped and sulphited
Had some free time in the morning, so I decided to top and sulphite the 2013 Syrah.
- 60 gallon:
- +20 ppm (80 ml SO2 solution)
- 15 gallon:
- +20 ppm (20 ml SO2 solution)
- 3 gallon:
- +20 ppm (4 ml SO2 solution)
I did not stir, as we need the wine to be settled for our first post MLF racking. There is probably a lot sediment in those barrels.
The wine tasted fine, although it has the young wine taste. I asked Daniel, the winemaker making my father in laws syrah, about the VA, and he said don’t worry about it. He has had a lot worse, and it came out fine.
