Hey folks,

I have an ice wine made from Reisling. It was a kit wine.

I finished the wine at 1.058 S.G. It is clear and ready to bottle. I am writing to ask if there is a general target for pH and TA in ice wine? Would I treat it like you would a white?

Thanks a bunch, I learn so much when I check in here.
 
If it was a kit, and you've followed the directions, generally speaking
As far as adding the appropriate amount of water, mostly

Then, I'd reason that the pH/TA is probably acceptable
They're a little different than regular white wines though, the increased sugar content of an ice wine takes a little more acidity to balance out

So that it doesn't come off as being that 'sickly sweet' syrup
