Racking the red

Jump to Comments

We were able to check this years Pinot Noir which has completed its Malolactic fermentation and we have now racked it to a clean variable capacity stainless steel tank and sulphited this too.

It is lighter in colour this year but we are very happy with it. It has mostly fallen bright but we added some egg whites to it all the same.

It always feels slightly strange adding egg white and salt to wine but thats what makes it clear without filtration- it works.muia-and-tank.jpg
