This week, we racked off Iowa Marquette Rosé, Iowa La Crescent, and Iowa Petite Pearl off yeast lees. We are making a small test batch of Iowa Crimson Pearl and finished the fermentation by chilling the wine. We tasted our 2021 Iowa Frontenac and wow! This is a big wine. We are planning to put it in two year-old oak barrels where we will watch it carefully by tasting it every four weeks. We fed our Steuben with a midlife nutrient addition. Finally, we profiled the Edelweiss, Marquette for the 2022 Iowa Nouveau, and a batch of Foch. Our wines are coming together nicely.
Most Fermentations are Now Complete….We are Wrapping Up Loose Ends for This Harvest
