While new to this, I read a lot and I'm trying to figure out the best time to sweeten my wines. Most of what I have read says after racking from secondary degas, add sulfite and sorbate, backsweeten and F-pac then age. My question is if you are going to age for lets say a year why would you not hold off on sweetening until the wine mellows before sweetening, say at 9 month? Wouldn't one have a better idea on how much sweetening is needed the later sugar is added in the process?
