Hi,
I have several reds from juice buckets aging now. They are all from 2013
harvests. Is there a specific time to introduce MLF or can it be any time before the spring?
Or did I miss the window completely?
This is only the second season making wine for me so I still have lots to learn.
The Cabernet Sauvignon I made in 2012 was bottled in May of 2013 and was really good but I think it went through a secondary fermentation in the bottle as several weeks afterwards it developed more C02. The taste changed a bit though it still very drinkable.
I'd like to have more control over what happens so any advice is welcome.
Thanks
