I picked about 200lbs of Riesling from my cousins farm today. 19 brix.
There was more brown/split/rot grapes then I expected, see photo. My own Muscat grapes never look this bad, nor have the other grapes I've gotten from him over the years. I'm guessing most of this is due to the late season this year, everything is a few weeks to a month behind.
As I was crushing them, I tried removing most of of the damaged grapes.
My question is, does this look fairly standard? or is this more damaged than normal for Riesling?
