A never ending MLF!
We are still not done with the MLF on the syrah. I had a sample of the slowest barrel tested…70 mg/L. We need to be less than 30 mg/L to be “done”. Here is the Vinquiry result.
We have tasted several times, and the wine is really coming together. The 30 gallon new barrel has the smoothest wine. Surprisingly, the new oak does not seem to be overwhelming the wine. It is really good! We want to sulphite it…but need to wait for the MLF to finish. When finished, we hope to combine it all into the 59 gallon barrel for another year of aging.
