I have:
120L of Dornfelder (pressed late Sept)
85L of Muscat (pressed Mid-Sept)
25L of Riesling (Pressed early october)
We're planning on bottling over the next few days. They've all been sitting in carboys in my cellar since pressing (racked twice each since).
For the dornfelder, we have 25L of frozen juice we kept when pressing that we'll be using to sweeten. The other two we will likely use wine conditioner.
We're going to filter (3 phase) all of them, and add some sorbate to prevent fermentation.
For the dornfelder, I'm planning on filtering the juice before mixing it into the
wine, since this will be done a few days ahead of bottling, should save us some time fighting clogs on bottling day.
Any other tips before we do this?
