  Make sure all our precious barrel wine aging well advanced, in winter it is important to the cellar work.Elevage is French winemaking term education or training-for each wine, until he enters the bottle, winemakers are engaged in a process similar to ?????? child. you must be sampled the barrel each time to measure the levels of key elements; this is especially important to do so before our holiday break, you can make adjustments in order to ensure that it continues to mature properly.
  Yesterday, Aaron spent their day and Jesse as a barrel of monkeys, examples of transportation for the lab-


When withdrawing samples, they also have the opportunity to taste the wine and to see how each lot Kerem develops its fruit and oak components, as well as see if something funky going on with the "our wines".The laboratory becomes quickly around the examples; key elements that we're looking at levels of malic acid, volatile acidity sulphur dioxide free.

Specifies the level of malic acid along the way as far as wines are approaching to complete malolactic fermentation when. fermentation this secondary, lactic acid, malic acid to danger is soft, volatile acidity levels (amp) cannot exceed. If this remains uncontrolled, the wine turn to vinegar!, at the right time before amp get too high, sulfites (sulfur dioxide) is added to the wine to stop developing amp; sulfites wine is also important to protect against oxidation. free sulphur dioxide is measured in these models to determine how well the wines protected against spoilage; if too low levels, more can be added by winemaker, elevage ?????? thereby "," maturity of the wines, will continue in a positive manner.
